What a treat! I was fortunate enough to have Leonce as my guide for the evening and had such a great time! The tour was fun, informative and opened up a part of the city I wasn’t previously exposed to. Leonce was incredibly lovely and absolutely hilarious! I couldn’t have been in better hands for the evening. As someone born and bred in New Orleans, he was the best person to have show me around and tell me stories about the city while I sipped away on cocktails. Highly recommend it!

This tour was great. As mentioned, it is not a drinking tour, but you can purchase drinks at any of the places you visit. Frank was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job. He filled us in on all the scandalous things that happened around New Orleans. It is great when you have a tour guide that is familiar with all the history in the city. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans.

Turned into a private tour for just two of us as no one else reserved it. Very interesting and enjoyable. The tour guide absolutely knew her history and gave us a great female historical perspective.
