We’ll 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 gather and socialize. 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.

Pepe was absolutely incredible - the best tour guide and experience we had in New Orleans, hands down! We had the most fantastic and fascinating tour on the history and evolution of Jazz/Music in New Orleans, its roots and how New Orleans was the birthplace for Jazz, Blues and eventually Rock n'Roll. We learned so many interesting and insightful facts and Pepe went out of his way to make sure we had the most authentic Jazz experience in New Orleans. Thank you so so much and we look forward to touring with you again, one day soon!!!

Cayge was amazing. She is very into the music which is obvious by her energy and knowledge. Cayge has a bachelors degree in music, so she knows the ins and out of the different music types and is not a redundant canned presenter. The tour ends in 2 jazz clubs which gives you the opportunity to put knowledge to practice.... Go for it, no disappointments on this tour.

Cayge was the best tour guide ever. She knows so much about jazz and New Orleans. She accommodated our group to change the start time with no problems. The tour taught us a lot and we were able to go into a few jazz clubs to see live music. I will be recommending this tour and Cayge to my friends and family!
