Locally owned authentic, connected history lesson

5.00This was my first time taking a historical tour in New Orleans, and one thing I wanted was a guide who was from the community that she was representing, and a locally owned a small business, someone who respects the people and the culture and is willing to tell the truth, even if it makes people uncomfortable. Dartanya was all of those things, not only that, it was evident that she was deeply passionate about the storytelling, and connected to the people, places, and events. Highly recommend and plan to tour with her again.
Inspiring tour of Tremé!

5.00An absolute highlight of our visit! Dartanya is a fantastic storyteller who brought the history of Tremé to life. We left feeling enriched, inspired, and much more connected to the real heart of New Orleans. She shared so much fascinating history that we never would have discovered on our own. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you Anansi's Daughters crew!

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.

5.00This tour was amazing!! 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. I love this so much more than I even expected and it had already been a highlight expectation of my trip to New Orleans. Highly recommend for anyone who loves history and learning about culture!
