5.00Just got back from New Orleans. What an incredible story of Treme, New Orleans and the history of New Orleans back to the 1700's. LaToya was our guide. She is a great story teller. Do yourself a favor and take the tour. We also stopped in at the Backstreet Cultural Museum to see amazing Mardi Gras costumes and got food at Lil Dizzy's. All Good!!!

5.00LaToya is an amazing story teller and keeper of Treme history. Love and exuberance for the neighborhood shows through. What a great way to round out the history of New Orleans. Do yourself a favor, visit an amazing neighborhood that IS New Orleans. Eat at Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe and visit Backstreet Cultural Museum for Mardi Gras history and costumes on display. All amazing, all worth the time.

Our tour guide actually designed the tour and at this point is the only one who gives this tour, so she was just a wealth of information and passion and humor and compassion.
