    Harris Parson was very friendly, informative and entertaining! I can't say enough good things about how Harris showed us around and explained what had happened at each location and how it all influenced the birth and growth of jazz & blues. And at the end we stopped in a local jazz joint for a drink, conversation and some great music. Thank you Harris.

    We learned a lot about the history of New Orleans from our wonderful guide Harris. We discussed the history of wonderful jazz musicians, various ethnic groups that influenced the city such as the Haitians, the French, the Africans, the native Americans, and the Spanish. He told us in detail about Louis Armstrong’s background and earlier life in New Orleans. I highly recommend Harris and this company.
