Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana

Music, music, music… the beat goes on everywhere in New Orleans, from the buskers on the street corners to the statues in the park to the top-notch bands in the city’s best bars. The city’s known as the Birthplace of Jazz, and the musical scene is very much alive and well in New Orleans!

Join your private local guide for this New Orleans jazz tour to hear all about the past and present of this iconic musical city, from the park known as the Ground Zero of Jazz through to the contemporary clubs. In a city packed with places to listen to music, what could be better than having a local host by your side to help you steer clear of the tourist traps and seek out the authentic, hidden gems?

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Louis Armstrong Park, 901 N Rampart St, New Orleans, LA 70116-3086

See where it all began – at the Congo Square area of what’s now Louis Armstrong Park, where musical styles mingled as slaves, and free people of color gathered on their days off. Seek out further influences as you learn about Creole culture at the Home of the Voodoo Queen, and find the place where stars recorded the songs that found them fame, now tucked away behind an unlikely shop front!

Plenty of big names will make an appearance as you trace the history of this fascinating music form – Little Richard, Fats Domino, and playwright Tennessee Williams among them. You’ll also hear the tales of some less well-known characters that all feed into the rich mix of music and culture around the city today. There are jazz museums for you to explore and stacks of classic albums to browse, too, as your host shows you to all the best musical corners of the city.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Frenchmen Street, Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA, USA

And of course, your host has excellent ideas of where you can experience authentic live jazz, whether you’re into the traditional jam sessions of the Preservation Hall, the classy clubs of Frenchman Street, or the buzz that comes from stumbling upon a fabulous street performance. Avoid the tourist traps and learn about the best ways to support the musicians without falling into any scams – when in New Orleans, live it like a local!
