I am a Grammy Nominated New Orleans Jazz Musician and Historian. I came to New Orleans in my teens to study Jazz and History at the University of New Orleans. My sense of humor and appreciation for New Orleans is what people love about me. I've traveled the world as a working Jazz Saxophonist, but no matter what I am steeped in the New Orleans Culture. My tours can be completely customized for you especially if you are a music fan. Whether your interests may be the food, art, music, or just the history while in the Big Easy, I look forward to introducing you to the Gumbo we call New Orleans. - City Of New Orleans Tour Guide License Permit - Grammy Nomination in 2026 for Regional Roots Category - Bachelor of Arts from the University of New Orleans in Music History - Tulane University MPS Graduate Student - Managing Partner of Big Easy Walking Tours

Quay was an excellent guide with a deep incite into all aspects of New Orleans culture and history. For people who have never been to New Orleans before this is a great tour to take. Quay was fun to be with . We came as a family of six and he looked after us well. We would recommend him to anyone.
Quay was awesome. He really gave us the personal experience that we were looking for. Quay is a well known guy in New Orleans and wherever we went people were saying hi to him. He got us into small, hidden gems that you wouldn't get into with a big group of people. His knowledge of the history of New Orleans was tremendous and he as able to answer any questions we had. We never felt rushed and he was very accommodating. When the weather looked back he suggested alternate schedules.
Quay is a most affable and knowledgeable guide for New Orleans, and was a fountain of knowledge about the local music scene and venues, providing tips on good shows to us long after the tour. Highly recommended!
Quay exceeded our every expectation for a personalized tour. He hit the spot - our time together was perfectly curated but always relaxed and flexible. Join him - you'll be so glad you did. AWESOME!
What an amazing time I had in New-Orleans, thanks to Quay. He took me to the best places and I heard incredible stories! If you are travelling there please request Quay. A member of the Jazz society !
