Brian was extremely knowledgeable with the history of New Orleans and super fun too! My group was so fun and intrigued by his fun facts. The tour itself was excellent. We walked to different bars in the neighborhood and experienced the cocktails that each bar featured. We will definitely do this again if and when we come back! Great job, Brian!

We are delighted are your comments.  We will be sure to share with Brian.

Fantastic experience

Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide!  Full of knowledge, funny, and took us to places we would not have gone without knowing the history behind them. 
 We would do another tour with her!

You must do this tour!

This was our fourth cocktail tour and we learn more history each time. We went to 4 bars( 2 for first time). Joe was our excellent guide. He is so much fun and knowledgeable about all the history and cocktails.

Joe is the originator of the tour, which you might already know.  And he never tires of sharing the history and delightful stories.

Perfect tour with Joe

Sandi did an awesome job and we truly loved hearing about New Orleans from a natives perspective. She was a ton of fun.

Awesome!

Our tour guide was a really nice guy and shared interesting facts. He only took us to 3 places, all were good, but our group would have enjoyed a more classic bar tour with more stops.

Just ok

Our tour guide, Joe, was excellent!  He told us a lot of history and took us to fun bars. This cocktail tour was great.

Grayline cocktail walking tour.

I picked this tour specifically vs going with Dr. Gumbo Tours because this one didn't include all the drinks like most of the other cocktail/drinking walking tours do. My mother doesn't drink so I didn't feel it would be worth the price of $60 plus to go with a tour that included a drink at every stop. With this specific cocktail tour you had the option to buy a drink at each stop and you received one drink complimentary before the tour starts.

Our tour guide was Joe and the other guy that was there at the beginning was Brian...First let me start out by saying we were originally a group of 6 and had one tour guide. They tell you to be at least 30 minutes early to the meeting location. Everyone was there 30 minutes prior except the tour guide, who got there exactly at the start time of the tour at 4pm. Around 4:15pm 5 young ladies decide they want to be included in the tour and go to the window to pay for their tickets. They took almost 45 minutes to pay and get situated while the remaining parties sat around and waited. 

The tour guide complained the entire time that it was too busy to do this tour because of how busy the city was and that the company he works for shouldn't have allowed tours on this day. My second big problem with this guy was we were already an hour late leaving for our 2.5 hour walking tour and at one of our stops a few off these young ladies in the group decided they were hungry and wanted to grab some pizza. Tour guide said oh yeah sure go ahead we have plenty of time, so they left while myself, my mother and a few others just waited while they got their food. He took a smoke break and it was like no big deal at all. Third, he advised us after only two stops he had to let us go because he had to met up with another tour he was doing. We only went to three places and got no history of any of them, it was you can buy this or this drink and thats it. Lastly and the most funniest part, not only was this guy kinda of sloppy but his pants zipper was down, he smelled like smoke and he was just unprofessional overall. 

I would NOT recommend this tour off course because of the experience we had. There were two guides working this evening and they were grumpy, unhappy and complaining the entire time. Better off paying a bit more and going with Dr. Gumbo Tours for the cocktail walking tour :)

Ms. Talbot, we would like to speak to directly if possible in order to understand more about this situation with the Tour Guide. Yes, we ask guests to arrive early to be sure to secure their tickets before the 4:00 departure.  Meanwhile the tour guide may be securing his paperwork in the lighthouse to begin the tour. We have been checking into the late additional guests, departure time and the allowance of an extended stop by other guests.  The guide that you mentioned has been with us many years and helped develop the tour so we want to be sure we have all the facts. Mr Joe, to our knowledge, is a non-smoker and he wrote a complte book on cocktails.  It is important to us to be sure what action to take.  Please don't hesitate to call us at 800-233-2628 and ask for Mr. Robichaux or email us at guestexperiences@glnosc.com.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

HORRIBLE tour guide...

Once a teacher always a teacher.  That describes our outstanding tour guide.  He did just what we wanted and more.  With a great personality and personal relationships with the establishments he took us on a historic walk to the private/exclusive back rooms as he described the origins and cultural backgrounds that formed the stories of iconic bars and drinks.

Cocktails Unlimited

My group of 9 went on the New Orleans cocktail tour a couple days ago for a bachelorette party. We had the BEST experience! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept it really fun. I also feel like I learned a lot and tried some fun drinks that I otherwise would not have tried! Would highly recommend!

Dartanya lead us thoroughly through the history on the French Quarter and was very insightful and entertaining.

Excellent guide

The tour was ok. Much of the information was made up or very general. Our guide made it fun and was entertaining. Not scary or historical at all if that’s what you’re looking for.

Taylor did an amazing job leading us around the French Quarter while telling us interesting historical facts at every turn.

Will definitely book again next time friends from out of town visit our city!!!

I loved the tour. We got a well rounded history of the influences and major practitioners of Voodoo. Carlos was an excellent guide, super knowledgeable. I highly recommend it

Great tour - thank you Carlos

We are so glad we did this tour, it goes into the history of voodoo more than the spooky ghost stories, which comes off cheesy to some people.
