This is a “don’t miss” - Roni was our guide. He was fantastic. We learned a lot about local cocktails and also learned about New Orleans in general. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. He has a real knack at remembering our names and engaging us. We had some terrific cocktails. Don’t miss this tour, and be sure to ask for Roni!
