Join us on this unique New Orleans’ music tour! Armstrong Park is named after one of the most famous jazz musicians in the world and one of New Orleans’ most beloved sons: Louis Armstrong. You’ll hear about jazz’s origins, resulting from a rich mix of cultures in a single city, which combined West African and Caribbean sounds with European musical influences - giving us this uniquely American artform. You won't stop there! Next, your local guide will bring jazz history to life by selecting a specially curated route to hear the best the music scene has to offer. You could make your way past Preservation Hall and the historic French market or head to the famous Frenchman Street, the largest concentration of live music venues in the city. Even stop for a drink on us! Whatever your musical interests, you’ll end this tour with a new appreciation for American music, New Orleans’ famous residents, and the art and sounds of jazz.

There were only four of us that made up the group, including the tour guide. The information and the sites to see along the way were fascinating. I would not have had the insights had I tried to do the tour on my own. Thank goodness for those who have grown up in the city and have vast knowledge of the past, present and future. It was a fun and factual tour. Didn't get to follow behind the jazz musicians that you see depicted in movies and on television.

Valerie was very enjoyable,informative,etc....we did a lot of walking, visiting clubs, neighborhoods, restaurants and stores I never knew existed or heard any publicity about, and I was online 3 weeks before my trip, doing research on the French Quarter. Our small group of 3 had an awesome time!

As soon as I knew I was going to New Orleans, I knew I wanted to take a Jazz tour. I am so happy that I found this tour - it was amazing! The guide Cayge was fantastic - she was able to share so much information about jazz music, the heritage, and the local jazz scene without making it overly complex. Plus we got to go to two different locations to hear live music!! This is a must-do when in town!

Cayge was a fantastic guide and gave us all of the history of the Nola jazz scene. Her musical background made it easy for her to teach us about the intricacies of jazz music. The spots we visited for music and cocktails were great. We were seated immediately, despite both places having a decent crowd. An excellent experience and wonderful introduction to New Orleans.

Sage made the history of jazz interesting. We enjoyed a couple styles of jazz in the 2 clubs we visited. Well worth it!

Our tour guide was very kind. We walked through Armstrong park and looked at all the statues. We walked down Frenchmen street and at the end stopped at a club that had an amazing band playing! This was the highlight. Honestly I don’t think the tour was worth it… just go down Frenchmen street and pop into some clubs:)

Holley Bendtsen was Fabulous! Knowledgeable, but not overbearing! She had a vast knowledge of the history and the Music that evolved in NOLA, and she easily kept our interest. We would highly recommend her to y’all!
