About This Experience

As culture-bearers for the city of New Orleans, all of our guides are actively involved in participating and/or performing in various productions and venues that showcase our artistic preservation of Louisiana BBIPOC heritage. 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.

Tour Itinerary

30 min

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

30 min

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.

15 min

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.

15 min

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!
