You HAVE to do this in New Orleans

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. 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!

5.00Latoya was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. She made the history come alive! The tour didn’t involve as much walking as we thought—which was good for my 82-year-old mom! This tour is great for any adults or teens interested in New Orleans’ unique & complex cultural, racial history. Latoya shared lots of great ideas for where to go after the tour to keep exploring. Thank you!
