Description

Step into the heart of the French Quarter and discover the fascinating stories behind New Orleans’ legendary cocktail scene. This interactive walking tour is the perfect blend of history, culture, and fun, as you visit multiple cocktail venues to uncover the origins of iconic drinks, including the first American cocktail, invented right here in New Orleans.

Along the way, you’ll also gain insight into the city’s notable people, events, and architecture that shaped its vibrant culture.

Sometimes neat…sometimes on the rocks…but always very, very interesting! This French Quarter walking tour explores the parallels between the resilient and vibrant city with the tasty, storied cocktails that (refreshingly!) reflect her. Get an insider’s look at some of the best French Quarter bars, each with its own story to tell. Imbibe in notable New Orleans cocktails while your guide reveals the historical events that are reflected in each, thoughtfully-chosen ingredient. Plus, in your tiny group, ask questions! Looking for award-winning bartenders? Love a good dive bar? You’ll get recommendations specifically based on your taste and preferred vibe, many of which only a local would know.
