Music and culture evolution through the ages - Amazing history of music going from blues and classical music merging into jazz. Very intriguing first hand knowledge and experiences of the area including places to eat and places to see. The guide was very fun and made us laugh and enjoy our walk through a historical rich area.

Fabulous private tour of jazz music clubs - Fabulous private tour of music clubs/pubs hosted by Pandi. She did an excellent job of curating some great music, hearing a Grammy winning musician and a meet and greet with an accomplished saxophone musician, Anna who plays in many bands.

A personal unpredictable adventure - I've been traveling the world for the past 25 years and the pub crawl tour from Big Easy Walking Tours is one of the best tours I've taken in that 25 years! Pandi is my new favorite person. The personal touch she brought, the introductions to the musicians, and the insiders view of Frenchman street she painted really brought everything even more alive during our tour. Simply put it was the best time I've had in years!!! Book this tour, you won't regret it.
