We had the BEST time in our Treme tour. Bobby was amazing: entertaining, knowledgeable, and fun! We learned a lot about Treme and the history of NOLA. The real deal, beyond touristy stuff. Absolutely recommended. I would go back a second and a third time!

Tour guide was knowledgeable as well as personable. He presented facts about the area of which I was unaware, and this information gave me an appreciation for the Treme neighborhood and its citizens. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans.
