About this activity
Treme' (pronounced Tre-May) sits adjacent to the French Quarter and is the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States. Treme' is a vibrant area steeped in music and culture. Come explore this iconic gem and revel in New Orleans Jazz history with its roots in Congo square and Storyville, the birthplace of such Jazz greats as Alphonse Picou and Trombone shorty.
Treme' was originally settled by Free People of Color; often referred to as Creoles, whose unique experience helped shape the civil rights movement. It is the hallmark of African-American history not to be missed. Today, Treme' is home to artists, musicians, and craftsmen and is a living, breathing, joyful piece of New Orleans history.

Our guide Stella was great. I loved her enthusiasm and the amount of knowledge of the area she had. Lots of history, interesting homes and places.
Interesting.
I really enjoyed the tour. It is a great way to spend a few hours and get some great context / history for Treme' and New Orleans in general. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. We asked him a lot of questions and he was on point -- he knows what he is talking about. And he knows everyone in the neighborhood. If you want a relatively quick tour and are interested in New Orleans history, this is a must.
Robin was an excellent tour guide! She is native to the crescent city and full of great information.
