Just did the jazz tour in New Orleans - it was amazing!

I gifted this Soul of New Orleans jazz tour to my husband for his birthday, and wow, we had the best time! Our guide was super knowledgeable about every spot, especially Congo Square and the voodoo queen's house. We even got to check out a few local music spots off the beaten path. Totally worth it!

Considering gifting the jazz tour but need more info!

I’m thinking about getting this jazz history tour for my dad who loves music. I’m just worried if it’ll be worth the price and also if it’s good for someone who’s not super mobile. Anyone have thoughts?
