Paddlewheeler Creole Queen Jazz Dinner Cruise in New Orleans

The Creole Queen experience
The steps were a little steep for me but do-able. The food was delicious. It was a perfect night on the river. The rear of the boat had great pictures of the sunset behind New Orleans. The front of the boat has benches to sit and enjoy the breeze and views. It wasn’t too hot or cold. It was very enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone.

New Orleans Jazz History and Live Music Walking Tour

Unforgettable tour
This tour was actually exceptional, We had Katherine as our guide who was extremely knowledgable not just on the rich history of jazz in New Orleans, but also, as a local, on the best locations to enjoy some of that music.Katherine’s showmanship made the experience very immersive, playing hand picked songs, appropriate songs for every story she told us about, but what was most valuable was her extensive knowledge. She did not shy from the darker sides of the history surrounding the music either, and told it in a very respectful, informative and uplifting manner. We learned some great spots from her on this tour, and she even bought a drink from her own pocket in one location. We have since frequented these locations on our holiday.I can’t thank Katherine enough for adding to our holiday and making it so unforgettable, and can’t recommend this tour enough if you are a lover of jazz, music, history or simply want to find some of the best spots to relax in the city.

Andre was the best!
Andre was a great host and guide, we were running behind and he went out of his way to check in on us and waited. He took us to a handful of bars with great music, along the way he sprinkled in fun facts and local history! And to end the night we got to see him perform!! 10/10 book a tour with Andre!!!
