Overview

On this 2hour you’ll stroll in Saint Germain des Pres and learn about the history of jazz in Paris. The first stops are at 2 nearby cafés, Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, which formed the epicenter for writers, intellectuals, and musicians. Jazz thrived in this open-minded circle of people.
Further along you’ll see the former location of Club Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Because performances were held in the cellars of the clubs, jazz fans became known as troglodytes, or cave dwellers.
See the hotel where jazz greats Kenny Clarke and Bud Powell held late-night jam sessions after their gigs. Kenny Clarke’s bebop drum work changed the rhythm of jazz and allowed for greater exploration of the music.
Stop near the site of the former Tabou club, where French writer, singer, songwriter, musician, and jazz promoter Boris Vian performed in 1947. Vian was instrumental in introducing American jazz greats to the in-crowd of Paris.

Awful. We booked a tour with them for New Year's. They canceled it about 10 days out. We booked another day with them. They called, while we were in Paris and 2 days before the outing and want to move it again. We settled on our 3rd date with them. Paid. We went to the meeting place. NO SHOW. We never again heard from them and are applying for our money back from the credit card company. BAD BAD BAD BAD

It was great wandering the streets of Paris with the guide pointing out many things. The jazz session at the Duc du Lombards was very good, the food quite good.

We had a wonderful tour. Our guide gave insightful history and being a musician himself helped cover the current jazz scene. We felt comfortable with our guide while walking through many areas of the city we had not visited before.
The jazz club had a front row table reserved for us. Great tour!

This never happened. I was at the appointed meeting spot and was there for an hour, never finding anyone that remotely resembled a guide. I had left several voice mails that night and had sent email to no avail. I received no communication in return. This was extremely disappointing to me.

My wife and I had a fantastic time on the tour. Laurent had a rich background of knowledge of all places we visited - he made St Germain come alive with jazz greats of the past. The club was fantastic - an intimate gathering of music lovers enjoying some outstanding New Orleans jazz. We will definitely go on this tour again.
