Tour description

If you know anything about New Orleans, you've probably heard of the French Quarter, but do you know about Treme? 

Did you know that the Treme, a neighborhood adjacent to the French Quarter, is the source of much of New Orleans' famous cultural heritage?

This one, small part of the city is home to several museums, a world renowned park, historic churches, and homes that whisper the stories of a time gone by. Join me for a stroll through Treme, ending in Congo Square.

History, begging to be known, resides just beneath the surface of almost everything in New Orleans. You just have to know where to look.

I'd love to show you. Let's go!

Wir waren pünktlich am richtigen Treffpunkt, zu dem wir eine halbe Stunde laufen mussten, aber niemand war da. Straßenarbeiter haben uns bestätigt, dass schon vorher niemand da war. Wir haben der Guide Tamara drei messages geschrieben, aber keine einzige Antwort erhalten. Ist das Guru Qualität? Und Tamara?

We booked a tour of Tremé with Tamara. Tamara is very knowledgeable, an exceptional story teller and we felt transported a few centuries ago. The tour was very moving, and deeply informative. It is a lively access to a fundamental part of history, and a awesome way to visit Tremé.

Loved the song Tamara started the tour with. A brilliant introduction to New Orleans and a bit different to the French Quarter. Very informative.

Tamara è stata una guida perfetta. Abbiamo trovato il tour molto interessante tra gli annedoti storici e culturali del quartiere tra il passato e il presente. Tamara ha scandito bene le parole e parlato chiaramente, cosa importante per noi che non siamo madrelingua inglesi. Inoltre, ha riposto a tutte le nostre domande sulla città e la cultura locale anche se non direttamente legate al tour. Grazie Tamara per averci fatto conoscere meglio questa meravigliosa città! Tamara was a perfect guide. We found the tour very interesting among the historical and cultural anecdotes of the neighborhood between the past and the present. Tamara enunciated the words well and spoke clearly, which was important for us who are not native English speakers. Furthermore, she answered all our questions about the city and local culture even if not directly related to the tour. Thank you Tamara for letting us know more about this wonderful city!
