Great time, well worth the price.
It was great! Our guide was Pandi, and she was super knowledgeable

Great time!!!
Swan was our tour guide and she was SOO awesome! She was so knowledgeable and answered probably about a million questions for us! For a two hour tour, the price is sooo fair for as many spots as you visit! We had the fortune of having her all to ourselves for our group, and she managed to curate a genuinely interesting and fun experience for us <3. This was for a Bach trip, and she definitely helped give it that special touch for a good time!

History, Hoodoo & a Reading That Hit Home 🔮
Swan gave us an unforgettable experience in New Orleans! My daughter and I felt an immediate connection with her. We loved exploring the history of Voodoo and Hoodoo, and Swan brought it all to life with her knowledge, warmth, and genuine passion. The tarot reading was deeply personal and really hit home for both of us. Swan created such a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere that we felt free to open up and connect on a meaningful level. What started as a tour became one of the most special memories of our mother-daughter trip and can’t recommend this experience enough. ❤️🔮

Response from the operator: Hi there North! Unfortunately you’ve placed this review for the wrong business. We are not Big Easy Tours we are Big Easy Walking Tours. Please remove your review and place it in the correct Business Listing. Thank you!

Andre was the best!
Andre was a great host and guide, we were running behind and he went out of his way to check in on us and waited. He took us to a handful of bars with great music, along the way he sprinkled in fun facts and local history! And to end the night we got to see him perform!! 10/10 book a tour with Andre!!!

Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans cost?
+
Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 697 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans?
+
Around 244 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Admission Tickets; and 3-Hour Frenchmen Street Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans led by musicians. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans?
+
We meet in front of The Rambler. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Frenchmen Street VIP Live Music Pub Crawl in New Orleans offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
