Our music tour of New Orleans begins just outside the French Quarter at the historic and beautiful Louis Armstrong Park in the Tremé neighborhood. Within the park, we talk about the historical origins of jazz and discuss one of the jazz greats, Armstrong himself.

In New Orleans, there's always the opportunity for an element of surprise. We'll be on the lookout for impromptu street performances, which always make the night special. And if the timing and mood is right, we'll get behind the scenes with one of the bands in between sets.

In addition to getting your groove on and enjoying the sights and sounds of Frenchmen Street, we'll end the tour at the nightly art market. This is another lively spot where the city's artists show off their best work, from handmade sculptures to local photography.

Your Trip: For your Urban Adventure you will be in a small group of a maximum of 12 people.

Soon we arrive at the famous Frenchmen Street, the largest concentration of live music venues in the city. Your guide takes you inside some of his/her favorites. Being with a local, you'll have access to the best options, depending on the day of the week, time of day and band schedules. And to top it off, you receive a beer on us at one of the stops and you're very welcome to purchase additional beverages as and when you want them.

If (well, let's be honest, when!), at the end of the tour you're still craving more, your guide can point out other great locations in the area for dinner, drinks and of course, more great music!
