Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Danilo was an great guide. We saw 3 fantastic bands in places I would have never found on my own. He asked good questions upfront to help tailor the night to music I would really like. The next day he followed up with more recommendations for the rest of my stay. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to hear the best of Paris."
"I highly recommend this tour with Danilo! I was traveling by myself and wanted to experience more night life and music while still being safe. Danilo made the night perfect! He knew of nice spots to check out and was also super fun to hang out with. We started at a small music venue, then went to a cool brazilian spot and ended at a place near the water. At the end of the night Danilo made sure I got back to my hotel safe. 100/10 would do again!"
"This was a fantastic evening. Danilo was very personal, as if we had been friends forever. He shared his love of music with us and we talked about our common interests. The conversation flowed very easily He opened our eyes and ears to the music scene in Paris and suggested a number of other places for us to try. This was just the impetus we needed to explore more of the exciting Parisian Nightlife."

A true Paris Jazz Night is about immersion. It's the intimate, hushed atmosphere of a 'cave' (cellar club), the shared passion for music, and the artistic energy that fills the air. It's a cultural staple.

"Amazing experience that really brings Paris to life, Danilo was a great host who allowed us to experience an underground music scene we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise, 10 stars if possible don’t miss this unique and memorable opportunity!"
"We had an awesome night with Danilo! We went to 3 different bars and heard jazz and blues. It was a blast. Danilo was knowledgeable and flexible. He told us lots of info about the music scene in Paris and was enjoyable to be with. I would highly recommend taking this tour."
"Danilo was a lot of fun. He's also a very talented musician and artist. You're in for a treat if you get the opportunity to hear him play. This was my birthday evening and he made it extra special for me. Thank you so much! Such a pleasure to meet and spend time with you! 😊"
"This was one of the highlights of Paris for me and my 20 year old son. We thought we had seen some amazing music on our trip up to this point, but Danilo took us to the best. He is a delight to be with, an amazing saxophonist, and we partied and danced in an area of Paris we would have never found without him. The best tables were saved and waiting for us wherever we went. We even got to watch him play . Don’t miss this!"
"Danilo was an attentive host and showed us some great music venues, telling us a bit about the types of music as he went. He’d listened and tailored the tour to our tastes and we loved it when he got out his sax to join in at the end, staying far longer than he’d said. Thanks, Danilo, for a memorable experience. "
"Thanks to Danilo - it was a really cinematic and memorable experience, the jazz and music he handpicked for us was no short of amazing, and we toured three different venues with a surprise ending when Danilo engaged in a sax performance (and he indeed is a good player). The venue and seat selection was top-notch, and Danilo is a lukewarm and open host who made my evening out special. Definitely a must for all the music lovers in Paris!"
"Danilo thoughtfully scouted and planned our “Music Crawl” based on our situation & the available musical performances available. He gave us a great experience appropriate for my teenage granddaughter & me in places you won’t typically find tourists. Just what we wanted! He was knowledgeable courteous & hip to the local music culture. I would highly recommend him & am, in fact, contacting friends about his services for their upcoming trip to Paris. "
