Robin Rocque

Join Robin for part II of exploring the Tremé neighborhood.

Building on part I, we will explore some of the architectural styles found in the Treme, as well Louisiana's version of Louis XIV's Code Noir (a decree regulating the treatment of slaves).

Prepare to learn about the historical New Orleans Civil Rights Movement that started during the U.S. Civil War, and how its impact reverberated through the rest of the country for decades to come. 

Robin will close by discussing the many cultural events unique to New Orleans.

New Orleans

Very knowledgeable and entertaining lady. 

Joined a few minutes It's a late bc previous tour went a little over, but knew Robin was just finishing her intro. Robin is such an enjoyable host with a great sense of humor & an even better laugh! I lived in New Orleans YEARS ago (while 3-4 yrs old). Been there a couple times when older, but never deeply learned the history of it until now. What a great way to learn, through Robin's love for her city & her willingness to share that love with us!  
Hope her surgery went well & that she's back on tours soon!!💟

Very knowledgeable and personable!  Thanks Robin!

Robin is an absolute delight. She is always smiling and laughing during her wonderful tours. I loved this tour.  It was a part of New Orleans I wasn't familiar with.  The tour was at sunset so there were awesome photo ops. Robin always gives oodles of information and folk stories.  She is really super knowledgeable about New Orleans.

Very good, interesting, friendly and knowledgeable 

Learned a few things from Robins tour.  Like tours that wait to answer questions towards the end of tours.  Robin has some history to share and keeps a good flow conversing throughout.  Engaging 

I cannot review this tour as I didn't actually do it.  I was able to join for some reason 2 hours after it was finished.

My internet signal kept kicking me out. I'll catch you next month. Praying for you. All will go well with your surgery.

Very knowledgeable with a passion for her city and her subject. I will definitely be joining her again

Part 2 of the Tremé tour was awesome. So much history and details about the local architecture and how it related to the history of the area. Absolutely mindblowing and fascinating. Thank you Robin, for your knowledge and your enthusiasm and for the singing! Loved it.

Really enjoyed Robins tour. She is very knowledgeable especially about history and is a very likeable person 

This was my second Treme tour with Robin.  So interesting & well delivered

Great way to learn the history of New Orleans...loved it 

Loved following along with Robin, and listening to her stories of the slaves and the housing, and how the slaves could buy their freedom.

It’s like taking a stroll through the city with an old friend, Robin is so knowledgable, makes everything interesting and has an amazing singing voice which is a bonus!

Sorry , I was only on the tour for 15 min.  Forgot I had an appt.  what I heard I liked. Thank you

So interesting again, thanks Robin. Wish you well for your surgery and will see you soon 

enjoyable and informative just the right mix of information 

Fantastic tour! Robin is a wealth of information, and a really fun guide! I really hope to visit New Orleans someday soon!

Robin - you are a knowledgeable tour guide.   Thank you.  As you walked around and told us about New Orleans you brought back wonderful memories of a city that I love. I hope to come back soon.   Thank you!

Robin was wonderful! She showed interesting historical parts of New Orleans and gave important insight into the slaves that arrived there. It is little known but refreshing to know that they were more free than other parts of the States.

Couldn't pick up a lot of what she said.  So gave up!

 Very interesting tour.  However, at times I could not understand her as she was talking too fast.

Robin was so fun and knowledgeable. She clearly loves her city!

Loved Robins tour. Neat when she spoke with the man selling the cheese.   Very funny to boot !!

Thanks for your tour it was very informative and interesting. 

Wonderful to step back in time with Cindy in New Orleans & without too much sadness - interesting factual tour, Thank You.

Robin deserves 10 ⭐️‘s.   She has a gift for story telling w/ lots information & personality.  Looks forward to my next tour w/ Robin.

Would do 5+ if I could.  So knowledgeable, funny and easy to listen to.  Loves how she brought us into an impromptu conversation with someone on the street.  A great ambassador for the Big Easy!

I really appreciate local insight into neighbourhoods and it  was great to listen to Robin´s stories and see a part of New Orleans I probably would have not visited as a tourist. Thank you for a great tour

Spoke cleary. 
Responded to questions
Appeared Knowledgeable

I loved walking through Tremé with Robin, and to learn so much about it. Robin is passionate about what she is talking about! I would only suggest two things: speaking a bit slower (not slow, just slower) at times, as not all viewers are native English speakers; giving a short one or two minute context to a couple of concepts (e.g. Union and Confederation) as not all viewers are familiar with US history. Thank you again for your wonderful tour!

excellent tour  looking forward to making a visit when covid is over

Incredibly interesting and informative - learned a lot!

Interesting info. She was informed but did not answer several questions  about civil rights and things she brought up.

Loved Robin's enthusiasm. She obviously knows a lot about the history of her city. Has a great sense of humor too. Will definitely take some of her other tours.

Robin is a wonderful guide.  Full of history and she sets you up for perfect photos too.  I will be doing all of her tours.  

Better than treme part 1. More interesting and more to look at. Very pleasant guide. Love her laugh! 

We loved both tours of Treme. We usually visit New Orleans at least once a year, but have been missing it so much during the pandemic. We were so excited to get to see the city again virtually. And we learned a details we never knew. We look forward to more tours from Robin. 

Another outstanding tour by Robin! A lot of historical facts about New Orleans...the part that this extraordinary city played during the Civil War that I didn't know- mixed with a nice walk through a neighborhood that captures the architectural designs of housing during that time period. Interesting facts on Slavery, Freedom, and how New Orleans became the musical city that it is. I respect how Robin set expectations of the tour upfront about how she will be addressing questions at the end of tour especially when some tourists ask questions irrelevant to the subject matter, or questions that have already been answered, or ask questions just to be asking. Way to stay focused!!! One little tidbit...it may be helpful to remind tourists again during the tour that you are leaving time at the end of the tour where their questions would be answered so they don't think that you are ignoring them. Also, it doesn't hurt that you do  a brief "check-in" to see if there are questions that everyone understands the subject matter. For instance, some international guests didn't know the difference between the union and confederate soldiers and because some people literally sit inside the Chat Box on every tour, you missed the question several times. In any respect, it was an  absolutely brilliant tour.

The tour guide provided so much information on the Black American community in New Orleans from its early formation during Spanish, French and American conquest. There are of course sad moments when one hears how people were enslaved and were deemed as property and for social status. I will continue to watch. 

Robin’s knowledge of the historical significance enhanced the trip. It is encouraging to museums and other historic sites being restored mostly by residents. The bright colors of many homes are festive  and the area  owners are not restricted by bylaws are creative. The concept of virtual trips is satisfying. Thank you for offering many places to visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed Part 1 of Robin's tour today:)  Did not realize how many musicians are from New Orleans!  I wasn't aware of the Rock 'n Roll connection until Robin pointed out a building that was once a recording studio where some of the biggest names in early Rock 'n Roll came to record their songs.  I was fascinated by the story of African slaves from the area that is now Benin who regularly gathered in the park in the Congo area.  Robin clearly loves to share  the stories of early New Orleans with her guests.  I'm looking forward to taking more tours with her!  

Provides lots of info. Very interesting tour. 

I so enjoyed Robin’s wonderful tour of the neighborhood that she so loves. She did an excellent job of giving me the opportunity to fall in love with her city. Robin is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and I look forward to going on more tours with her! Well done!

Thanks Robin, I’ve always wanted to visit your town! I love jazz. Foods. Looking forward to the bayou walk. Have a great day and stay cool!-Donna from  northern CA.foothills.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thank you Robin 

Very interesting, but preferred part one of your tour

For me it’s about life and history of a place instead of buildings. Robin has done that. She is the best I’ve seen so far

Very very good tour. I enjoyed it very much. 

Brilliantly informative and fascinating tour. So much first hand knowledge and love of the area.

Super interesting our - lots of history and discussion of what life was like in this area - Treme of New Orleans. Great!

Oh my goodness.  I think Robin is going to be the next VT rock star.  This was an amazing tour and the historical information was awesome.  She needs 10 stars.  Do not miss this tour.

The tour was full of interesting history and gave non stop information. I LOVED the personal knowledge and some family history ie Mahalia Jackson. I will investigate some of the places when I come back to New Orleans next Winter(post vaccine) I will follow your tours. tip coming. You are a natural guide. thanks. 

Robin shared her deep love of New Orleans and her wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend her tours!

I joined Robyn on part one and part two of the Treme tour.  Robyn is full of information and insight.  Part one taught me so much about the birth of the music scene and part two helped me understand the history of the neigbourhood.  Robyn is a fabulous guide. I look forward to more tours with her.

Robin is a talented tour guide! Even though I have visited New Orleans many times, Robin has revealed aspects of the city’s history that I did not know. Very entertaining and enlightening.

A very picturesque and interesting tour. Robin, you are very knowledgeable. Thank you 

Part 2 again was history based but wow... just amazing. So many things I learned on this tour.  Thanks again Robin.  French Quarters one is booked.  Looking forward to hopefully hearing some of that music 

Great part 2 of New Orlenas.  Lots of info 👍

Great insight into your city.  I have been to New  Orleans 6 times and I try to drive through neighborhoods to see how people live.  I'm hoping to be back this year and I hope to go to the museums you showed us. Thank you for a wonderful tour. 

It was a very interesting and informative tour.  Looking forward to touring Jackson Square with Robin. 

Enjoyed 2 tours around New Orleans with Robin this afternoon.  Saw a lot and learned  even more!!  Have just booked another tour she doing soon.  Thank you   Robin.  Heather London UK

Your tour was so informative and your love for your city was evident. I will see you on your Jackson Sqiare tour.

So much I learned Robin, so little time.  Brought back memories.  I went to a service in St. Augustine Church about 6 years ago.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge.  Will be back for future tours!

Fantastic tour guide.  Will be looking out for her future tours.  See you soon, Robin.

Very good, looking forward to the French Quarter. Very informative.

Two wonderful tours with Robin today. She loves her city and has a wealth of knowledge about it.

I really enjoyed both parts of the tour. Robin is very knowledgeable and it was great to hear the history of the place . Lovely place. Thank you Robin. 

Absolutely fantastic tour! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! 😍

Rates as a ten !! Superb tour and so much information shared. Lovely NOLA. Looking forward to more with you Robin.

An area of New Orleans that we never saw when we visited this beautiful city.  Thank you for the informative history
