Holly is an adorable person, she knows the history of music by heart. Extremmilly prepered since she is a misician herself and knows every musician in town. She showed us in detail and I highly recomend her tour. The best tour I´ve had in my life!

Jazzy history
We had a great tour with Holley! She provided so much information about the history of music in New Orleans, along with the history of the city itself. She had lots of fun facts, anecdotes and even some singing. Holley is knowledgeable, engaging and fun. I would highly recommend this tour!

Holley is the Best
Holley met us at Congo Park because we happened to book the tour on the day of an outside music festival. She used the performances and the historic elements of the park (including a tree where offerings in the Voodoo tradition were left) to explain the culture and music of New Orleans. We then walked in the nearby neighborhood, listening to her great stories about jazz history. Our group included one current music producer and one former jazz dj; they both said they learned a lot in the tour.
Holley was easy to talk to, full of anecdotes, and just rest to spend time with. Highly recommend!

What a thoroughly excellent experience my wife and I had yesterday evening.
We had messaged Holley before we left UK as regards my wifes late father. He was a blues pianist from New Orleans and we wanted to see if we could get some closer information.
Holley not only gave us a fantastic and in depth tour of N.O musical heritage but also information on Jack that we hadn't found ourselves.
The experience of a sage blessing in memory of Jack around the tree in Congo Square was truly spiritual and humbling.
We would Highly recommend Holley to anyone with or without an interest in music and history.
Fantastic experience all round.
Thank you Holley.
