Our guide Jeremy was very knowledgeable about the area, and he provided insight and background on Treme and Congo Square. It was a great learning experience.

This was a tour that enriched and enlightened. Erin was passionate and knowledgeable and her energy was sincere. Worth doing. Good learning. Left me with lots to consider about our nation’s history of racial injustice.
