Customer Reviews
An excellent way to experience the French Quarter
2023-11-26
We had a great time and our tour guide, Beth, was knowledgeable and fun. It was a new way to experience this city that I love so much. I learned about a new cocktail that is now my new FAVORITE cocktail, the Ojen Frappe. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Great experience

The cocktail tour was a wonderful blend of informative cocktail history (I had no idea how many unique and tasty cocktails were created in New Orleans!) and a walking cocktail tasting. Beth was very knowledgeable and entertaining in the way she weaved cocktails into the city’s rich history. I would recommend people try an absinthe service if any of the stops on the tour offer it! And if they don’t, I’m sure Beth could recommend you a place to do so!
