About This Tour

A private walking tour through New Orleans' real jazz history — Congo Square, Louis Armstrong Park, Tennessee Williams' House, and Frenchmen Street. This is a genuine walking tour, distinct in both format and stops from our existing Jazz Musician Driving Tour — real on-foot access to Congo Square, Tennessee Williams' House, and St. Mark's United Methodist Church.
