Cruise the Mississippi aboard the Steamboat Natchez with live jazz, river history, skyline views, and an optional Creole-style lunch.
“Everything was very smooth. I walked over in ~8 minutes from my Q&C Hotel. I went on a 55 degree January weekday and the boat was nowhere near full which was nice and spacious with plenty of seating. The narration was well done and had some jokes. The band was okay a nice addition. The lunch was very tasty and for $20 extra a great deal in New Orleans. They will provide you 2nds if you ask. I recommend getting first meal because the boat does not leave port for the first 45 minutes which is boring otherwise. 2nd meal you will miss most the scenery. The ride is 45…”

Trace New Orleans jazz from Congo Square to Frenchmen Street on a small-group walking tour with live music and a drink included.
“Wow! This was a fantastic tour. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was amazing. Our guide Kristi is a born and raised local from New Orleans and knew the history and culture back and forth. After a walk - and history lesson - around Congo Square, we headed into the French Quarter where Kristi had perfectly timed our arrival at a jazz club to watch one set. And then we moved on to another club to see a different band. Both were incredible. I wouldn't have known where or how to see jazz in New Orleans before this but Kristi explained where the best places are and how…”
