Big Easy Jazz Tour

Highlights / General details

Put on your beads and take a stroll down historic and, yes, scandalous Bourbon Street. Your destination? A club dedicated to the preservation of jazz where you'll enjoy a complimentary cocktail to start your night. Your guide will share stories of how Bourbon Street evolved into an international destination for partygoers, as well as how this city became the birthplace of Jazz, the truly American music genre.

After enjoying a set of foot-stomping music, you'll be enthralled with short stories of jazz and the characters of this famous neighborhood. Bourbon Street will share another jazz set by a local traditional Jazz ("trad Jazz") band viewed from VIP seating in the lush patio of Musical Legends Park. Take photographs alongside the bronze statues of some of the celebrities that have made New Orleans a music and entertainment Mecca. The tour concludes with your choice of either a cocktail or cafe au lait and beignets. Then we'll let you decide when to call it a night!
