Our tour did not include two of the stops mentioned in the tour outline. Tour guide smoked through a lot of the tour, quite offensive to most of the tour. About 40% of the people on the tour left halfway through the tour. My wife had been on a similar tour a few years ago and really enjoyed it and was provided with much more interesting information.

We loved the Scandalous Cocktail Hour Tour. It was great to take a tour that took us OFF of Bourbon Street to some historic bars with classic New Orleans drinks. Our tour guide, Frank, was fantastic. He told great scandalous tails, we learned New Orleans history, and was accommodating to our entire group. Be prepared to spend some money on drinks at each location, although this is not required. But you will want to partake in these classic beverages. Our favorite was likely Pimm's Cup! We highly recommend this great tour!

My friends and I had our tour with Frank. We thought we were the only ones because the rest were no shows. However, at the last moment a couple had walked up and joined us. Our group of 6 (including Frank) had a great time. We all talked like long lost friends. He talked of not just the drinks but the history of NOLA. We loved the personal stories he shared as well as taking us to special places where his personal friends spoke of the history too. The only bad thing was the fact we ran over the expected time. So by the time we reached our last place he said his good byes and left the 5 of us standing in the middle of the busy Carousel Bar with a bunch of people just staring at us.
