The experience

Two hours is enough to hit two jazz clubs without the usual research: the guide picks venues that are staffed and open on the day you show up, so you skip the phone calls and closed-door surprises. You'll hear different styles of jazz across the two stops: the music and the room change between them, which is the whole point of moving around instead of settling into one place for the night.

A licensed local guide leads the tour and handles the details that usually trip up visitors: confirming the venues are actually open, knowing which ones match what you want to hear, and timing the moves so two clubs fit into a single evening. The guide speaks English and knows the French Quarter well enough to steer you toward the rooms worth your time.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What kinds of jazz will I hear at the two clubs?

The two venues chosen for the tour feature different styles of jazz, so the music and atmosphere shift between stops. The exact styles depend on which clubs are open and performing on your date, which the guide confirms before the tour starts.

Do I need to pay a cover charge or admission at each jazz club?

Cover charges and admissions at the clubs are not included in the tour price, so you'll pay those separately at each venue when you arrive.

Can I bring children on this jazz tour?

Children under 21 are not allowed in most jazz clubs in New Orleans where alcohol is served. Contact the operator before booking to find venues that accept minors if you're traveling with kids.

How much time do I spend at each club?

The tour visits two clubs over two hours total, so you'll spend roughly an hour at each venue, though the exact split depends on the music and crowds on the night you go.
