Faubourg Tremé was associated in the 19th century with people of free color, Creoles of African descent who were among the upper echelons of Louisiana. Many of the inhabitants of Tremé were descendants of the Santo Domingo (Haitian) refugees who, fleeing the tumult of the Haitian revolution, had settled in Louisiana in 1809. Thanks to the cultural richness and ethnic diversity of this district, jazz was born in Faubourg Tremé at the beginning of the 20th century. The charming trails of the Tremé will transport you into history by allowing you to see for yourself the beauty and dark reality of a Louisiana that no longer exists.

Thinking of gifting the Le Faubourg Tremé tour! Any thoughts?

I’m considering this guided tour in New Orleans for my parents' anniversary. They love history and culture, and I think they’d really enjoy exploring the roots of jazz in Faubourg Tremé. Plus, it’s a free tour which is pretty awesome! Anyone else done this? What was your experience like?

Just did the Le Faubourg Tremé tour, and wow!

I just got back from the Faubourg Tremé tour with my friends, and I can't recommend it enough! The local guide was amazing, shared a ton of fascinating history, and we even heard some live jazz on the street. I'm thinking of gifting it to my sister for her birthday! Anyone know if they have any special rates for group bookings?
