This was my second visit to NOLA and I had previously been on another cocktail tour. This one was a bit different as it was more centered around the scandals than the drinks. We had expected more cocktail history vs. actual history. Overall Leonce was very informative and it was an interesting afternoon .

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.

My husband and I took the Scandalous Cocktail Tour and it was chocked full of fascinating facts -- do you want to know who really shot JFK? -- incredible cocktails -- you even get the recipes -- and a charming Southern gentleman who has lived in New Orleans all his life. Be sure to ask for Leonce. His stories are entertaining, fresh, and not the same old thing you have heard a hundred times or can find on the internet. He loves his city and his job and you will learn to love them too. He also gives great restaurant recommendations. We loved all three he suggested.
