What a great way to jump right into the music scene!

5.00We had a great time! People at the busy venues were all so friendly and we made a couple friends. Even with a large scale event happening in town and numerous road closures, our guide and driver were able to get us easily to three amazing local venues with high quality musicians playing. No waiting in lines, or for music to start, just fun. Joey was knowledgeable and personable and our group all seemed to enjoy the evening and different experiences. Thanks again! We met local people later who were impressed and agreed with the chosen spots.
Advice for solo travellers - might not be for you

1.00My review is only advice for solo travellers. I assumed the tour would be more of a group activity and good for a solo traveller. Unfortunately this wasn't my experience. Once we got to the venues the group is left to go their own way, which is great when you have friends with you but not so much when you're alone. I also mistakenly assumed we would be in venues where the tour operators might pre book tables for the group. Again, this wasn't the case and likely not really possible at most venues. The others on the tour seem to enjoy it. I left the tour early and ended up paying extra for a ride back to my hotel. A waste of money for me but definitely not for the others in the group id say.
Great Evening!

5.00It's exactly as advertised. We got shuttle around in a Mercedes van, had VIP treatment on our first stop at one of the iconic venues we visited and heard a variety of good music throughout the evening. Just an enjoyable evening.
Good local music

5.00Great variety of local music. Tour guide and driver were very friendly and informative. They took us to 3 venues of 3 different genres of music. Although they had planned venues, they were willing to adapt plans to our likes. We stayed to listen to one set then moved on the the next site. I would recommend this tour for anyone trying to hear original music. It was a fun night.
