Great Cocktail Tour-Creative & Fun

Review of: Scandalous Cocktail Hour Tour

“My husband & I were down during his R&R & took this tour as our only tour. We loved Janet (our hostess). She gave great drink recommendations & her stories were awesome because she had real personal history in the area & she didn't give us the same ol' stories you can read & hear about from others. We had 4 others with us & they were fabulous company as well. Definitely recommend this tour to others.”

Must do!

Review of: New Orleans French Quarter Walking and History Tour

“The tour guide was invested in teaching the group about the city. Grab a bite as you walk and learn about the French quarters, fun facts, and changes the area went through the centuries. We loved it and recommend it. I don’t recollect our guides name. Will update the feedback when I do. We also took free tour on on foot for - jazz music and the guide there was very enthusiastic too and was a good 2 hour tour. Along side watching a second line passing through and then ending the tour by joining the Halloween parade.”
