Big Easy Citywide Tour with a Local Jazz Musician

Experience New Orleans through the perspective of a Grammy-Nominated musician and historian on a private 4-hour citywide tour designed for guests who want more than a standard sightseeing experience. Travel by private vehicle, with select walking stops along the way, as we explore the French Quarter, Treme, Marigny, Bywater, Garden District, City Park, Uptown, St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, and other important neighborhoods that shaped the city’s history and music. I came to New Orleans as a teenager to study Jazz and History, and today I bring that background into every tour—connecting the city’s architecture, neighborhoods, traditions, and historic events to the music that made New Orleans famous around the world. As my private guest, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, personalized experience with my full attention, insight, and the flexibility to focus on the places and stories that interest you most. This is not simply a city tour. It is a private introduction to New Orleans through its history, culture, and soul.

This private 4–5 hour tour combines driving and walking, giving you a broad look at New Orleans while still allowing time to step out, explore, take photos, and experience the neighborhoods up close. Along the way, I’ll share the stories behind the city’s history, architecture, music, food, and culture. Depending on your interests, traffic, and timing, our route may include: City Park Café du Monde in City Park Treme Frenchmen Street New Orleans Jazz Museum The Lower 9th Ward and Hurricane Katrina history Musicians’ Village Marigny and Bywater Studio BE murals Garden District St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 Tulane and Loyola Universities Vaughan’s Lounge Old U.S. Mint Lake Pontchartrain Mid-City Central Business District Because this is a completely private tour, I can customize the route around what interests you most—jazz, food, architecture, Katrina history, neighborhoods, photography, or local culture.
