Initially, we were reluctant to take a tour with a large tour company. However, the reviews were mostly positive, so we gave it a shot. It was a blast. Our guide (a gentleman who wrote a recipe book on cocktails) was fun, funny and informative. After getting a brief lesson on a particular bar and cocktail, we would enter a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide, Sandy, was obviously born and raised in New Orleans and she had interesting information about all kinds of things we passed, not just the 'cocktail aspect' of the tour. There were originally almost 30 people at the tour when we started and they broke us into two smaller groups, which was a... More

I have done this tour twice, last October with guide Joe and last week with Brian, thoroughly enjoyed it both times... I recommend this to everyone.. New Orleans is such a special place and they really give you a feel for the city. I really liked that there was no pressure to purchase any of the drinks. Brian even recommended... More

We had so much fun learning all about the history here and seeing locations not accessible by the general public. Our guide made it interesting and engaging and appreciate the cocktails at the various bars. Truly a lot of fun and worthwhile, it is a great first night in the quarter! Note: You do pay for your drinks at each... More

Joe was amazing! The tour was amazing! The drinks were fantastic! The behind-the-scenes tours of the locations was awesome! This was a great way to meet other people touring New Orleans and it was fun to share drinks and taste some of these amazing concoctions. Joe covered the history of the drinks and tied that in with the history of... More

This was our first trip to New Orleans (my friend and myself) and we wanted to experience as much of New Orleans as we could. This tour was great- our fantastic tour guide, Brian, was so informative, entertaining and helpful. He took us to some great cocktail bars/restaurants, and told us lots of interesting history, which we otherwise would never... More

We took this tour on a recent trip to Nola. It was very fun. Our guide took us to bars that we couldn't have found on our own. He was very knowledgeable about Nola history. We received one drink compliments of them and the rest we paid for. We went to 5 different bars. The guide would order the drinks... More

We recently came back from a trip to New Orleans and had an absolute blast on the Origional Cocktail tour. We were lucky enough to have Sandy as our guide...she is AWESOME! She is absoutely hilarous, very knowledgable, and takes you to great locations. When everyone is getting sorted into groups in the beginning of the tour try to sneak... More
