Backstreet Cultural Museum Tours

It was a very insightful, fun tour of these neighborhoods, more about how these neighborhoods evolved to create not only the history of New Orleans but the sense and persona of New Orleans.

Our guide Nate was really interesting and entertaining. We learnt a lot about Voodoo and the area. Would definitely recommend.

This tour was wonderful! Highly recommend, First of all the website was easy to book without having to call anyone. Communication was stellar. The price was modest compared to some...which I appreciated as you never know what you are going to get. I would rather give a tip than pay for something that was not so great.Our guide was Harris who knew so much about the entire history of New Orleans, but as a musician himself was able to bring more insight into the whole Treme area and the beginnings of Jazz. We even went by a church he had played in when he was in high school. He wanted to know what we wanted to know, not just a canned talk by any means. Like because I am Irish, he told us a little about that neighborhood as well. And even more generous, he followed up the visit with a long text reviewing a lot of the details and names he had discussed and some other places we might want to check out.

Tiler is a Perfect tour guide! Very knowledgeable, very funny and very. Organized! He is very engaged with the street artists and their work - and he really loves New Orleans!!

This was a very enjoyable tour. Very well narrated!

Harris was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable. I had been to New Orleans previously, but I learned a great deal this time around.

Great and animated description of culture.

Dave was an awesome tour guide he really knew his history

Wonderful tour! So much history & insight. They even worked in a cafe to take a break. Highly recommend…

This was an informative, encouraging and impactful history and visuals of Treme. Our tour guide Robin was par excellence and gave us as much history of New Orleans that could be crammed into one 2 hour session! I received a new hunger & thirst to learn even more!!!!!!!

Robin was an exemplary tour guide! We received so much history in just 2 hours that it's still sitting with me days later. I learned so much more about Treme than I thought I knew! I am looking forward to going back and using this company to do a jazz tour. I am recommending to others who are traveling to the area in the future

The narrative was very well done. I learned a lot and enjoyed listening to it. It was very impressive that the system could detect where I was standing and start the narrative regarding that spot. I will definitely look for these again.

I was in town on business and went on the walking tour of Storyvile/Treme with Historic New Orleans Tours on my afternoon off. It was a small group, with just 3 of us and our guide David, who grew up in NOLA. (David has an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge about the city's architecture, history, and social dynamics. This company has brief professional bios of the tour guides on staff and it's clear they put thought into the folks they hire for this job!) He talked not only about stories of the past, but also how history has shaped these neighborhoods in the present. This tour was also careful not to sensationalize elements of history, because the stories are interesting enough on their own right! The most compelling stop on the tour was the tomb of the unknown slave, at St. Augustine Churchyard, but other highlights included Congo Square and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, as well as a peek at the St. Louis No. 1 cemetery, which requires a different tour to enter.Having a small group enhanced the experience, because we were able to ask a bunch of questions and also get recommendations about places we could return to after the tour. David also stayed for a couple of minutes after the tour ended to answer our questions and give recommendations for other places we can visit. Thanks for a fascinating and informative two hours! I will definitely book tours with this company on future vists to New Orleans and would recommend it to friends too.

Fantastic!! Learned so much and fun too. David was animated, interesting and funny. Learned more about the history of the music too.

Our guide was amazing and funny. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us great information. Our guide asked us questions and have us a little of insight about New Orleans.

Mr. Higgins was very nice. I wish we would have gotten a chance to see everything during the tour but he touched on some of the other things on the way to lil dizzy’s. I really appreciated that he walked us over and the conversation there was my favorite part of the experience.
