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 favorite local 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? 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.

Holley has amazing knowledge of the city, which she enthusiastically shares. Her love of music truly comes thru. Not only was the tour fabulous, we got many great tips of where to go for the best music and the best food. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about jazz and the city.

Incredible. Holley, our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. I’ve been to NOLA before but learned so much about the history of Jazz and the city in general on this tour. (And if you’re really fortunate perhaps Holley will sing you a couple of her own tunes. She’s extremely talented) It’s an easy 2 to 2.5hr walk. We tour the sites close to Armstrong Park. I am happy to recommend this tour if you are interested in the history of Jazz Music

Hollie was so knowledgeable about the history of the city's music. Anyone can swing by the Jazz Museum for the basics, but she took us into hidden gems (hotels, laundromats, etc.) that all had key pieces of jazz history (we got to touch an actual Louis Armstrong horn!). It was a fabulous and informative tour.
