Excellent tour with engaging history
We visit New Orleans often to immerse in the history and culture (while enjoying the food and drink) and this tour was so fun and interesting. The guide was super charismatic and told the stories in such an engaging way that brings everything together and connects it to where you are. Granted, the tour is a fairly short walk and the pirates couldn't be managing all their affairs right in the center of the quarter so it was a good mix of "this would happen here where you're standing" and "stand here while I tell you what happened elsewhere" which then makes you want to visit those other places. I love history when it's told like this and not all sanitized into dry facts and events. We had no small kids on our tour so we may have gotten a version with more history and gory details, but that pirate dude is ready for literally any question and I can tell he knows how to work an audience with kids.

Wonderful experience!
Rhody was an amazing guide. She was bubbly and entertaining while holding the delicacy and heavy nature of New Orleans history. She consistently checked in with tour participants to make sure everyone was doing okay and was intentional about giving everyone a chance to ask questions and be heard. A lot of the information was heavy, but she did a great job of weaving in levity, and I truly believe if you want an accurate, culturally responsive, not white-washed history of the French quarter, this is your tour company. Rhody was knowledgeable, inclusive, and just as willing to share her own personal experiences as a New Orleans local as she was facts and local legends. We had an amazing time and would absolutely go back!

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.

If you want your historical walking tour to be interesting, colorful, passionate, and funny, then this one is for you. Emily, our guide, was full of facts and figures, but also tied the connections together about how the neighborhood developed and how the community members navigated different times and challenges. Her passion to understand more and more is inspiring.
