Treme Music/Black History Tour New Orleans

Overview

We are the only tour guides in New Orleans who are initiated High Priestesses of Louisiana Plantation Vodou. We have a unique perspective that goes deeper than what can be found in books (though we’re thorough researchers as well), and we look forward to sharing the rich and blended cultures that make up New Orleans.

What To Expect

New Orleans Jazz National Historic Park

Learn the back stories of musical legends such as Moses Hogan, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Buddy Bolden and more.

Congo Square

Visit the actual site where Jazz was born through West African drum circles held every Sunday since 1724. Stand in one of the few places in the US where enslaved people were allowed to mass congregate; where they got married, held church, and traded wares.

St. Augustine Church

Pay your respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Slave on the ground of St. Augustine’s Church in Treme, the oldest Black neighborhood in the nation.

Louis Armstrong Park

Take in the history that is the foundation of New Orleans music, cuisine, architecture and culture; it can be surprisingly hard to find, and we’re glad you’ve made it to us!

I wanted to reach out and shout out my praises to Latoya! She was phenomenal! I have been waiting to do this tour for the past 2 years. Every time we have been in New Orleans your tours were sold out. I wanted a “non commercialized” tour. I wanted honesty and rawness. My family and I have a fond love for New Orleans, she has been very accepting of us!

Even through the pouring down rain, this tour was truly amazing. We met Malika at the park, and she took us through some amazing statues with historical background. It was truly an eye-opening experience. She is very well-prepared to answer any questions, and took the time to explain what each statue represented. New Orleans is rich in history and she provided some facts that I didn't even know. I highly recommend this tour to anyone!
