Incredible! An absolute must for music and non-music lovers alike! - Pepe was absolutely incredible - the best tour guide and experience we had in New Orleans, hands down! We had the most fantastic and fascinating tour on the history and evolution of Jazz/Music in New Orleans, its roots and how New Orleans was the birthplace for Jazz, Blues and eventually Rock n'Roll. We learned so many interesting and insightful facts and Pepe went out of his way to make sure we had the most authentic Jazz experience in New Orleans. Thank you so so much and we look forward to touring with you again, one day soon!!!

Cayge is the bomb to have as tour leader - Cayge was amazing. She is very into the music which is obvious by her energy and knowledge. Cayge has a bachelors degree in music, so she knows the ins and out of the different music types and is not a redundant canned presenter. The tour ends in 2 jazz clubs which gives you the opportunity to put knowledge to practice.... Go for it, no disappointments on this tour.

Cayge and this tour is the best! - Cayge was the best tour guide ever. She knows so much about jazz and New Orleans. She accommodated our group to change the start time with no problems. The tour taught us a lot and we were able to go into a few jazz clubs to see live music. I will be recommending this tour and Cayge to my friends and family!
