“Dave Higgins was well-informed about the music scene, although I had already learned much of this at the Jazz museum. We had signed up for the Treme tour, and was disappointed that this was cancelled and we were assigned to another tour that actually stayed in the Armstrong Park, with two sites away from the park---which was also disappointing. Higgins was a very enthusiastic and lively presenter.”

“My college kids and I began planning our after-Christmas visit to NOLA summer 2023, with the goal of highlighting music, history, and food, the signature features of the city. I soon discovered Soul of New Orleans and Cassandra Snyder. What initially attracted me to Soul of New Orleans was Cassandra's mission of tailoring our New Orleans experiences to our particular interests. Cassandra and I worked together to develop an array of activities. She arranged 2 morning walking tours, guided by Derek, who is soon completing his Ph.D. in history. Derek was really fun (my 3 college kids loved him), entertaining with both history and local "lore," and a continuing resource…”

“A sugarcoated view of New Orleans history that misses the perseverance of the Treme community in spite of the domination of the rest of the city and nation. She highlights her heritage throughout but doesn’t seem to recognize the disconnect between her family history and the people of this neighborhood. Do the people of Treme have similar connections to the park that they are physically gated out of?”

Brian was very knowledgeable and interesting and gave us information we wouldn’t have known about, including all the birds and neighborhood cats that live in the areas.
