The guide was a no-show. Apparently, Viator did not notify them of my booking. My last evening in New Orleans SOURED.Willl never book through Viator again!

Leonce was a great guide as he went that extra mile (starting the tour by giving us the recipes for the cocktails he was going to be telling us about so we could recreate them at home; giving restaurant recommendations; offering directions to other bars etc). He kept the tour light and fun with his sense of humour while also providing facts and anecdotes about the drinks/bars. We benefited greatly from his experience as he was able to answer any questions and point out the best spots for photos!

We were really looking forward to this tour. Unfortunately it was not a great experience. The guide kept asking where we were from & if we'd been there before (every 15 minutes). She couldn't count how many were in our group & I'm not sure she could remember the details of the scandals. Definitely NOT worth the $$.

Hello - sorry to hear this but we did not have a tour that day so this review does not apply to Historic New Orleans Tours. Please remove it from our site and find the company who did your tour. Best wishes,
