Very poor, was late leaving, walked to 3 bars & bought drinks, heard one story, guide smoked when we stopped, wanted to taste our drinks, dressed very shabbily, not at all impressed.

We had Leonce serve as our tour guide and he was amazing! A lifelong NO resident and 20 year guide, he shared with us some amazing stories and even some tips on where to eat later on. My friends and I enjoyed the tour- not too fast-paced and some air conditioned stops where we could use the bathroom or grab a drink. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

My friends and I greatly enjoyed this tour despite the excessive heat warning of the day. This is a great tour that involves short walks, mostly air-conditioned drinking establishments and great stories. Learn about famous New Orleans cocktails as well as juicy info about the city’s glorious past. Cindy was our tour guide and we greatly enjoyed her wit and natural storytelling ability. She also has excellent advice on where to get the best cocktails at the best price!
