Plantation Country and the Birth of Blues

Lawson (and occasionally Muriel) leads immersive walking tours through New Orleans that consistently earn glowing praise for their depth and passion. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how knowledgeable and engaging these guides are, particularly when it comes to Creole culture and history. The tours cover neighborhoods like Faubourg Tremé and the French Quarter, offering perspectives that help visitors understand the city's complex heritage in ways that feel personal and authentic rather than surface-level tourist content. What stands out is how the guides tailor their approach to each group. Lawson has communicated with guests in Mauritian Creole and clearly connects with both French and English speakers, creating an inclusive atmosphere where questions are encouraged. Many visitors mention these tours were highlights of their trip, with some calling them essential for understanding New Orleans. The storytelling approach makes history feel alive, and the Creole-centered perspective provides nuance that travelers deeply appreciate. French-speaking visitors especially value having excellent francophone guides who share cultural connections to Louisiana's heritage.
