Amazing Tour!
Had an amazing morning with Dartanya! She was so accommodating to our family of 4. She was so knowledgeable, kind and funny. Can’t say enough great things about this tour. Def a must do!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the warm review! Dartanya is a treasure, for sure. We hope you come back and take more tours with us!

The Hidden Gem...
Chit Chat Atlanta Tours curated the tour for my 90-year old father and I, however we were able to build it based on Anansi's Daughters. This Black History& Treme tour reminded me of the Historic West End neighborhood in Atlanta; Including the New Orleans African American Museum that is similar to the Hammond House in Atlanta. We enjoyed the Louis Armstrong Park and Congo Square. This tour was perfect for my father and I, as we created our own experience being the historian photographers that we are, discovering hidden gems.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the warm review! We hope you come back to take more tours with us in the future!

Loved it
It can be really hot so bring cooling tools - ice water, umbrella, fan, cooling wrap, etc. It was very educational!
Response from the operator: Truer words!!! Thank you for taking the time to leave the review. Come back soon!

Locally owned authentic, connected history lesson
This was my first time taking a historical tour in New Orleans, and one thing I wanted was a guide who was from the community that she was representing, and a locally owned a small business, someone who respects the people and the culture and is willing to tell the truth, even if it makes people uncomfortable. Dartanya was all of those things, not only that, it was evident that she was deeply passionate about the storytelling, and connected to the people, places, and events. Highly recommend and plan to tour with her again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the warm review! Dartanya is truly a treasure, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Inspiring tour of Tremé!
An absolute highlight of our visit! Dartanya is a fantastic storyteller who brought the history of Tremé to life. We left feeling enriched, inspired, and much more connected to the real heart of New Orleans. She shared so much fascinating history that we never would have discovered on our own. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you Anansi's Daughters crew!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the warm review! Yes, Dartanya is definitely amazing, and we so appreciate you for taking the time to say so!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 65 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour?
+
Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Black History & Tremè Neighborhood Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
