Description

Experience the soul of New Orleans on this small-group jazz walking tour. Discover how jazz was born in Congo Square and Tremé before exploring the French Quarter with a local music expert.

Hear the stories of the musicians, communities, and traditions that shaped America's original music while uncovering hidden corners and local favorites along the way.

Rather than following a fixed route, your guide tailors the evening around where the best live music is happening that night. Whether it's a legendary jazz club or a lesser-known local gem, you'll experience New Orleans' music scene as locals do.

End the tour with a live performance and a complimentary drink while soaking up the sounds of the city where jazz was born. No two tours are exactly alike, making every experience unique.
