Treme - Jan (?) made history & present day real, aspects of this presentation joyfully & sorrowful. Birth of syncopated music, using brass instruments, evolution of Congo, swing, rock’n roll, jazz took place before our eyes. A “must do” experience.

Treme Tour - This tour with Erin was so informative and interesting. She really explained the history of the Treme District that is rarely heard about. Erin is a local and so knowledgeable about the area. She took us to many good stops I wouldn't have known about otherwise. She also has a Playlist of music she plays in between tours that connects to the history which was amazing!

Community Full of Culture - It's hard to pick one part of this tour as my most memorable. I really enjoyed everything, from the musical interludes to seeing the colorful homes. If I had to pick something, it would be the Tomb of the Unknown Slave. Bobby, the tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
