My husband and I booked this tour for our first night in New Orleans to help us get acclimated with the surrounding bar scene. Leonce was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and had us all laughing the whole time. He took us into many bars and we got to tour them and hear stories about their past. There was time to order drinks along the way as well. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a little more from a typical bar night out.

We did this tour for my Bachelorette party! A large party of 8 ladies and 2 gentlemen. We booked in advance and Robert, the owner, was wonderful in helping us schedule the tour months beforehand. Our guide was Frank! He was a lot of fun and incredibly knowledgeable about everything New Orleans. He provided the local's perspective on New Orleans that I was looking for in a tour! We are from Mississippi and visit NOLA all the time but we wanted to do, see, and learn some new things about the French Quarter that we had never known or done before! Frank was also great at recommending the specialty cocktails at each bar! With the exception of the Carousel bar at the end, I had never been inside any of the bars we visited-but these will all become my new watering holes when we visit again! The scandalous stories are very entertaining and the roof top view of the city and the river is stunning! Do it; you're in for a treat!

A lot of walking but, fun, informative and entertaining! Saw places we'd not go into otherwise! Leonce was a great guide!
