TREMÉ WALKING TOUR


Tremé, The Cultural Heartbeat of New Orleans

French Quarter Phantoms, Tour Tremé was Awarded National Geographic's GeoTourism Award for our support in sustaining and enhancing the unique geographic character of the region through our commitment to aesthetics, culture, environment, heritage, and the wellbeing of the regions’ residents.

Tour Tremé also Awarded Trip Advisor’s Certificate of Excellence

Tremé (pronounced Tre-May) sits adjacent to the French Quarter and is the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States. Tremé is a vibrant area steeped in music and culture. Come explore this iconic gem and revel in New Orleans Creole and Black history with its roots in Congo square and Storyville, the birthplace of such Jazz greats as Alphonse Picou and Trombone Shorty.

Tremé was originally settled by Free People of Color; often referred to as Creoles, whose unique experience helped shape the civil rights movement. It is the hallmark of African-American history not to be missed. Today, Tremé is home to artists, musicians, and craftsmen and is a living, breathing, joyful piece of New Orleans history.

WORTH THE TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS BY ITSELF!

My partner and I went on the French Quarter ghost and vampire tour on our fight night in New Orleans. Despite being pretty tired after a long series of flights from the West Coast, our tour guide Justin kept our attention with a combination of ghost stories mixed with the history of the local area. Overall a great start to the trip and an amusing telling of the history of the French Quarter. Would recommend.”

LUKE IS GREAT!

If you are lucky enough to get madman luke... Then you are in for a treat. Luke is funny, an avid historian, a LOCAL, and a self-admitted skeptic. He will knock your (proverbial) socks off with his eerie gift for story-telling. He will convince you that your 8pm french quarter ghost tour was time well spent. Skip the dressed up fools. Luke is the real deal.

CHARM, PROFESSIONALISM, KNOWLEDGE & FUN!

Robert was our tour guide, & he did an excellent job of giving us the history of New Orleans, especially of the brothels & bars. We had about a 2 hour walking tour that included a couple of breaks, and got such interesting info about the people & places here. This is my 3rd or 4th visit here, but 1st time on a tour. I definitely recommend it & will try the Cemetery Tour next visit.

IT WAS AMAZING AND VERY INFORMATIVE!

Jeremiah our guide took us on a ghost and vampire tour through the French Quarter last night!!! It was amazing and very informative! His knowledge of each site was incredible and he answered any and all questions he made the stops very gripping with this story telling! The highlight was the LaLaurie mansion the most haunted place in New Orleans and former home of Nicolas Cage! After the tour Jeremiah chatted with me and my wife and told us more and showed us the filming location of American Horror Story "Coven" which was next door to the LaLaurie mansion!!! We highly recommend this experience!!!!”

ENJOYED IT SO MUCH WE BOOKED ANOTHER TOUR!

Our guide, Thomas Webb, was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny! We enjoyed an excellent walk through the French Quarter and learned lots of great info! We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked a tour to go see the cemetery, something we hadn't planned on doing but we had such a good time we decided to go for it! And you can't beat the price! Best in the city!

GREAT TOUR!

Our tour guide was Justin. He was amazingly knowledgeable about so much of Tremé's history. Our tour took about 2 hours in which we learned about New Orleans Jazz, Tremé's history through current and touched on some knowledge about the city of New Orleans. All in all it was an amazing experience that I definitely recommend. We took the tour at 10am on Saturday and it was top notch!

BEST WALKING TOUR EVER!

People, if you think you would rather just check this neighborhood out on your own, please reconsider and do this guided walking tour! Erin was not only a wealth of info, she wasted no time, kept it funny and interesting, included cool stories about the celebrities, athletes, architects and builders, and took perfect care of the small group. Highly recommended and SO cheap which was a bonus!!!
