One of the best NOLA tours - This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our tour guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable. I recommend taking this tour early in your trip so you can follow up with things you learn about on the tour.

Had a great time! - My family and I really enjoyed this tour! There was a large variety of full-sized drinks for a versatile set of tastes. The history aspect really connected the drinks with their many cultural influences. The bars we went to gave us quality drinks with great alcohol content.

Guide stormed off - Beth made some accusatory statement to my husband and stormed off. I was shocked and went to see what made her so upset and she we was hysterical and said “I don’t want to talk to you!” the restaurant server she was with (clearly a friend of hers) put her hand in my face and said “go away. She said she doesn’t want to talk to you!” So me and the rest of my party left the tour.
