Christie was great, gave a wealth of knowledge about the music history of New Orleans, plus a tour of Louis Armstrong park. the 2 jazz venues were the best, we stayed on at the last one as it was close to where we were staying.

Full description

Experience New Orleans' rich jazz history on a guided walking tour through the French Quarter and discover the origins of a uniquely American art form. Visit popular and historic jazz clubs and enjoy some live jazz performances from top local musicians.

After meeting your guide, explore the area originally known as Congo Square, one of the first locations in the city where enslaved people and free people of color were allowed to socialize. Learn first about the historical origins of jazz and chat about one of the jazz greats, Louis Armstrong himself.

Head into the Vieux Carre, or the French Quarter, and follow your guide through this iconic neighborhood. Discover Bourbon Street, where you might catch a busker performing at the French Market. Get a local's perspective on how to make the most of your time in the city and where the best bars and clubs are.
