Great Tour with Friendly Guide - Beth was a fantastic tour guide! Not only did she have a depth of knowledge about cocktails and New Orleans in general, but she was friendly, funny, and made me feel welcome as a solo traveler. Would absolutely book a tour again.

Had to Come Back for More! - I loved this tour so much two years ago that I returned to do it again! Beth never fails to deliver a delectable experience! She is knowledgeable, articulate, and hilarious all in one and makes time fly as you explore the best, most historic cocktails of New Orleans. The locations are beautiful and the drinks are exquisite. I can’t wait to do it again!

A very good way to learn about NOLA - Our host Mike was exceptional. He took us to four fabulous bars and we sat sipping the great cocktails, he told us the history of New Orleans and it's drinks. There were some fabulous like minded people on this tour.

Cocktails - The history was amazing. The origins of the drinks and their names was very interesting. Beth was so informative, patient, and entertaining. It was like a private tour. She's our sister from another mother. Kennedy strong!

Fun & Safe Bar Hopping - French Quarter. - Beth was Funny!!! I much appreciated the companies willingness to entertain just ME. Not many people signed up, but at the last minute we did have a small cozy group of Four Three customers and Beth the tour guide😊 . It’s all to important to have people who actually enjoy what they’re doing as your tour guide. Beth will even poke fun at you a little bit, just being engaging with you. For me without this tour, I would NEVER just go Bar Hopping. But this made the whole experience feel controlled and safe.

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.
