Better than Bourbon Street

Bruce_R, May 2024

A nicely paced tour visiting some jazz clubs off the usual tourist trail where musicians come to gether to jam.

Incredible Frenchmen’s Street

Harper_L, May 2024

Pandi was an excellent tour guide telling us the history of Frenchmen’s Street and taking us to 4 venues. The most memorable moment was Pandi getting up on stage and singing with the band. Incredible evening!

Great Jazz experience

Leilane_L, May 2024

Our tour guide is as super friendly and informative. Gabe the group some music history and took us to some great acts. He communicated well with us at each stop and adapted the tour so we could experience a live brass band playing on the corner. We were super sorry we had to cut our evening short as we had a train to catch in the morning. The group was a really nice mix of friendly people and I am sure they had a blast at the last stop. Would highly recommend.

Great Tour

Joe_T, May 2024

Pandi was a great tour guide. Such a great time to see a whole new area of New Orleans. Good music and fun drinks.

Incredible night thanks to Pandi

Samantha_R, Apr 2024

I only had one night in NOLA before heading home and I’m so happy I spent it with Pandi! I was traveling here as a solo female so wanted a fun, safe, experience without having to figure out where to go and this was just perfect! Amazing music, great cocktails ~ ideal NOLA vibe

Authentic Musician Tour Guide

Russell_W, Apr 2024

Great live music and amazing venues. Our tour guide is an authentic New Orleans musician with inside knowledge of Frenchman street.

Great!

Olna_D, Apr 2024

Pandi was an amazing tour guide! She knew her spots! I have this a 4 star because the drinks were not strong and one shot we took was watered down and for the price I think it should have been a really nice New Orleans style drink. However Pandi deff was amazing the best hands down.

Enjoy New Orleans Nightlife

Joseph_P, Apr 2024

The nightclubs and music venues we enjoyed were mostly fun and lively but a few were sparsely populated with not much going on. This was probably because we did the activity on a Tuesday night. The final few places we went were really fun and the live music was great. This activity was a good way to explore nightlife in New Orleans.

Definitely worth experiencing

Marlena_E, Mar 2024

We love Pandi! She was knowledgeable, fun and super patient with the group. We saw a diverse mix of venues and bands and ended the evening with a memorable band at the Royal Frenchman hotel and bar. This was our 2nd time doing the tour and we’ll definitely be back

Perfect marriage of live music and drink!

Keith_P, Mar 2024

The variety of music, both genre and instrumentation, were incredible and we loved every band! We had plenty of time with each band to get a good feel for the vibe. The Glenn Davis Band was like nothing we've seen before and venue was intimate. Pandi created a wonderful experience for our group!

Great time

Harry_R, Mar 2024

We do this tour every time we visit. Always a good time. They want me to say more or can’t submit review. No much more to say, great time was had by all.

Great pub tour

Robyn_H, Mar 2024

Amazing tour lots of fun Our guide Quay an accomplished musician was informative and entertaining Throughly enjoyable and worthwhile

Head to Frenchmen’s !

Wendi_B, Mar 2024

It was great to be guided around Frenchmen’s street and enjoying different venues with all types of music! Pandi was a wonderful guide and made it fun for everyone!! We loved it!

Pandit is the BEST!!!

Crystal_D, Mar 2024

OMG...do this crawl and ask for Pandi. She was a total rock star and really made the experience magical. The drinks, the music, and the atmosphere of each bar was spot on. I really got a feel of what New Orleans has to on the music scene.

50th Birthday group crawl!

Amy_B, Feb 2024

Pandi was absolutely amazing!!! We had so much fun with her and our group was great! The music/bars were perfect and she gave us a great history lesson on so many things in NOLA! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Pub Crawl with Frenchman Culture Vibe

Houston_M, Feb 2024

Pandi was more than wonderful. She was knowledgeable about French culture and a good singer as well. I was able to walk away winning the title of Best Dance Contest. This was a wonderful experience and worth the money. I would definitely go it again.

Disappointed

JoEllen_W, Feb 2024

More of a pub crawl. Nothing like the tour we took two years ago with Quay, which was fantastic.The first place we visited did not have a band set up. So the tour guide and some guests ended up singing karaoke to fill one hour of a three hour tour. The next place was a living room with a jazz trio and a rude bartender. We didn’t get the info on why the next place was on the list, just a fusion place, so we left the tour before the final hour.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Ellen! It's Quay thank you for leave a review and I'm sorry you didn't have to best of time like you had with me previously. Please give me a call at 5043728859 so we can arrange another tour with me as your guide. Thank you!

Never never again

Virginia_R, Feb 2024

It wasn't what I expected, the tour guy was to busy worried about,making it to his next event we're he had to go play in a band of some sort 😉 I could of did this tour on my own for free..I know next ti.e whenever I come back 😉 😜 thanks but no thanks

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Virginia! Thank you for taking the time to review. Maurice is a professional trombonist the event he was referring to was his show at Cafe Negril which began immediately after the tour. Keep in mind this is the only tour that is guided by actual new Orleans musicians who literally play on Frenchmen nightly. We are sorry you didn't have the best of time. Please call us at 5043728859 so we can arrange a return tour to show you how truly fun this your can be. Thanks again

Simple fun

salsa_G, Feb 2024

Our tour guide was nice and simple to communicate with! Bands were all different in each location… Nice that it was several places

Great Intro to Frenchmen St

Maurice_M, Feb 2024

Had a great evening (amid the crowds and craziness of Mardi Gras) exploring a part of New Orleans I had barely heard of a few years ago. Pandi was our friendly, colorful, talented tour guide (she sang, beautifully, at three of the four bars we visited). It was a great night wandering the streets of an eclectic and diverse (musically, artistically, and socially) playground. I would say a more enjoyable, and much cleaner, alternative to the must-see-to-believe Bourbon St.
