My girlfriend and I went on this tour on Aug 21st. It was our first activity after getting set up in our hotel. It was a great way to get a taste of the French Quarter and a feel for the city. Our guide, Sandy, was fun and interesting. I would advise to wear a comfortable pair of shoes, after... more

My mom and I took the Cocktail Tour with Sandi on the first day we arrived in New Orleans. At first we were worried it would be boring and we thought maybe we wouldn't be able to drink but that was anything but the case. It was a wonderful tour! We went to 6 different bars and at each one... more

We took this tour over July 4, 2008 weekend. I agree with other reviewers... This is not a bar crawl. Joe, the tour guide, knows his town's dining and drinking locations. Well worth the time and money. Take this tour on your first day in the Quarter. more

We were the only 2 who showed up for this tour on a Wed evening and I was concerned that it would be really lame. As it turned out, it could not have been better and I am glad we were alone because it was like a personal tour. Our tour guide Joe is a retired teacher and he really... more

We went to New Orleans with a group of 14 and we were all able to go on the tour together, by just buying the tickets a day in advance. We stopped by 4 or 5 local bars in the French Quarter. I have been to New Orleans lots of times and learned a lot about some places that I... more

We were in town for a convention and my wife and I went on several tours: (Cocktail Tour, Natchez steamboat tour, city bus tour, and Mardi Gras World tour). The Cocktail tour was by far the best of all. We had a blast. Our guide (Joe) was outstanding. The tour is equal parts: history, achitecture, local tales, customs, and drinks.... more

We walked to Toulouse and Decatur to go on the Gray Line Southern Comfort Cocktail Tour at 4 PM. I usually don’t like group tours in New Orleans because I have been to New Orleans about a dozen times and have read at least a dozen books about New Orleans. The cost was $25 and our guide was a retired... more

I agree with Blue Unit. This was a very worthwhile tour and a great one to start your visit to the French Quarter with as it will give you an overview of the area as well as get you into or past several high quality eating and drinking establishments. Now, don't think this is just a pub crawl, cause it... more

Highly recommended. Do it early on during your visit as you will gain a lot of insights into the Qtr and various establishments. You may find that afterwards you are able to skip some of the other walking tours if you go on this one. I have gone on it pre and post Katrina and while the former was better,... more
