- Alexa P00Our tour hit the best and most popular places in Nola.Our tour guide was amazing. Very nice and made sure everyone had a good time. Telling very interesting and informative stories.
- ernestsY2811CW00Great ExperienceHave traveled to New Orleans and the French Quarter on many occasions. It was so nice to learn new facts and hear interesting stories. Coty was a great tour guide.
- Gamer050300Master Storytellers Excellent ExperienceGreat experience! Highly recommend. Master Storytellers make this experience one of a kind. It’s impressive how many locations and the backgrounds behind them the tour groups learns about during one tour! They have put a lot of work into the tours and even better the passion for the city is shared from their excitement when narrating and leading the tour. Learn and explore with Licensed, Professional, humorous, entertaining, enthusiastic guides and you cannot go wrong!
- TherealDarren198300Ghost and vampireThis tour gave some great history on the haunted sites of the French quarter as well as the creepy history of how vampires arrived in new Orleans... Such as the Carter brothers and the one
- TherealDarren198300New Orleans Drunk History TourI think the drunk part took over lol at one point my buddy snapped a picture of me licking the frost off the outside of a frozen hand grenade bottle Good times Good times hahaha we visited many cool and unique locations that we would have never known about between bar stops... The bars omg they had the best drinks... The most memorable part of our trip to the big easy... Their motto about learning is intoxicating is very true we learned so much about the French quarter and it's many buildings monuments vars and the people all thou I may not have retained it all hahaha we had the fines of our lives
- 926tinn00Great time!Cory was fantastic! The tour was fun and the way he relay history was informative and creative! Drinks were 👌🏼👌🏼
- Missy L00Coty is the BEST!Coty was a FANTASTIC guide! He knew so much great information about every building I asked. Such a great way to spend the evening and see the French Quarter. Loved it!!
- Julie L00Truly Ghostly TourThe tour guide did not show up. We did not receive an email or phone call canceling. No one answered the phone.
- NorthStar2784218947400AwesomeCody was awesome and definitely entertaining, i like that it was a historic tour and pub crawl at the same time. Definitely recommend
- Bungo122700Great tour!Booked this tour using siteseeing pass. Tour was amazing, went through French Quarter, Garden District, Downtown and had stops in St. Louis Cemetery and Cafe Du Monde for coffee and Beignets. The guide was wonderful, talking the entire time he was driving. Learned so much and he added in his personal experiences which really helped get a true feel for the city. The cemetery stop was about 20 minutes and very interesting to learn about the burial practices they use even today. The stop in park was long enough to visit restroom, order coffee and Beignets. You are able to take them back on the bus if you don't have time to finish them there. Touring the Garden District and French Quarter the guide showed different types of architecture and understanding why things were done a certain way. This is a great way to see and learn about the city, because personally we didn't feel very comfortable walking around to explore on our own. Some areas are pretty sketchy, but felt very safe on the tour. Would recommend!
- vegashawkeye100Cody was great! (Just wish it were longer.)My friends and I really enjoyed this tour! Cody was a terrific guide. Personable and funny, not a snooze fest! I do wish it was a bit longer, to see more things and learn more History. Plus we only stopped at one bar for about 15 minutes (The time it took to get a Hurricane as it was packed, and to use bathroom.) So the term "Drunk" doesn't really apply! (The Hurricane was strong, but that was towards the end!) That being said, I am so glad that we went!
- X7252EHclairem00Drunk History Tour ReviewCoty was a really nice and welcoming tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about New Orleans, and was happy to answer any questions we had about the city. I do wish we had more historic locations during the tour, instead of celebrity homes. And, I was under the impression this was a bar crawl, but we only went to one bar. It was a really cool old bar, and we had fun! Those are my two suggestions, but honestly, overall, I really had a great time and a lot of fun on the tour!
- Nevadatraveller00Unique and fun way to experience New OrleansAwesome guide with great stories about NOLA. Funny and unique. Gave us good tips for Mardi Gras. Great pace. We enjoyed the locations we went (lots of madness and drinking - get the Hurricane).
- T8905MVkarib00Fabulous French QuarterI loved learning all of the history that goes along with the tour of the French Quarter! I was just in aw of all the information that the tour guide shared with us!
- liath49700Nobody was there to give us the tour.4 disappointed kids. Nobody was there to give us the tour. No one picked up the phone. Not reliable.

This is a fantastic tour that is based on all Mardi Gras history from the first Mardi Gras to present. We meet our guide in the French Quarter and the tour started off easily. If action, music and learning a lot of history, cool stories and Mardi Gras traditions while seeing absolutely BEAUTIFUL locations and learning about them is what you are looking for, then look no further. Learn how the French Quarter but even more so how Mardi Gras changed over the years and how some traditions stay exactly the same. We loved how the company was able to incorporate a Mardi Gras themed tour with all the history, dark history, paranormal, vampire voodoo and drinks in one amazingly fun tour. I would like to go on this tour during Lundi Gras or Fat Tuesday however the guide did made so much sense when he said that if you attend on the last two days of carnival - Mardi Gras it’s hard to hear. I think attending today was the perfect date. We learned so much and enjoyed seeing where the parades take place and the greasing of the poles ceremony is wild! So much info and so much fun. I will be booking more tours with them during this trip! More reviews to come on the tours here!
Thankfully Mardi Gras lasts a few weeks before it concludes with Fat Tuesday! You can attend anytime of the year but my suggestion is to attend when it’s not so chaotic because it’s hard to hear on the streets with all the hustle and bustle. This company operates on Fat Tuesday which is a great thing because I did research and found that all others are closed for tours. I guess they want to party too.
The owners are absolutely amazingly accommodating I accidentally missed my first tour and they allowed us to reschedule without any questions.

Best tour for anything and everything you possibly want when it comes to themes nola. This tour includes all the basics plus Mardi Gras history, traditions but foods and drinks. The tour guides / owners are so sweet and so accommodating. Don’t miss out. If you go anywhere time you will learn and enjoy the entertainment but if you go on Luni Gras and Far Tuesday it will add to the tour and and it’s and dressy aweeesome
Coty Ashli and Maddie y’all are the best thank you so much

Do not pay for the Mardi Gras Experience! It is just a regular tour meant to be given when Mardi Gras festivities are happening. We signed up on Jan 1, and our tour guide admitted that he couldn’t give us the experience because the festivities hadn’t begun. They did nothing to make it different from other tours except charge double. Coty said the office (turned out to be his wife) would call me to discuss. She did not call, so I had to email several times. She was incredibly unprofessional. She sent the tour description MODIFIED from what was online, and stated no refunds would be given.
While Coty was entertaining, I shouldn’t have to pay for an experience they were unable to provide. I should have only had to pay for the ghost history tour they provided.
It is unethical to claim they can provide an experience and charge for it if they are not doing anything to make this happen. And especially unethical when they only provided a ghost and history tour, with barely a mention of Mardi Gras... claiming this was a Mardi Gras Experience.
