Amazing cocktail tour with Butch - How can you go wrong with a Nola booze tour with a local expert? Butch was fantastic. He knew the right spots, he ordered the classic drinks, he told amazing stories. An excellent way to spend the early evening!

Great team event - We did this tour as a team building event for a company conference and it was fantastic! It was a great way to experience the local drinking scene and get a feel for the French Quarter. Our guide Butch was perfect for our group - weaving history and cocktail knowledge together seamlessly and making it fun and interactive at the same time. And the cocktails were so good!! We all kept talking about how much fun we had throughout the rest of our conference. Highly recommend!!!

Great way to experience famous cocktails in New Orleans - I took this tour while visiting my sister on a short trip to New Orleans. I told her that one of my must dos while visiting was to have great cocktails, and especially, to find a killer Sazerac. this tour definitely checked all those boxes. We packed in more stops than we could have done on our own and found places that my sister didn’t even know about. The other folks on the tour were lovely, and we had a great time chatting with them. The pace of the tour was perfect. Even if you have trouble finishing your drink before departing for next stop, you can take your drink with you in the street. It’s legal!

Drink like a local. - The tour was fantastic! They definitely give you the inside scoop on where to get the best drinks. I am a local who's been living in New Orleans for over 15 years and they took me to a bar that I had never been to before. They had the best Sazerac I've ever had!! I took my sister who was visiting the city and we had a wonderful time going to different bars and chatting with the other guests on tour. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to drink like the locals and discover some of the best drinks in the city.

Cocktails with mom - As a local, I took my out-of-state mother to the New Orleans cocktail tour. It was a delightful experience, immersing us in the city's vibrant mixology culture. Our knowledgeable guide led us to iconic bars and lounges, each with its own story and signature drinks. My favorite cocktail was the frozen Irish coffee from Molly's. By the tour's end, we left with a deeper appreciation for New Orleans' cocktail heritage and new recipes to try at home. This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore the city's cocktail scene while enjoying fantastic drinks and fascinating stories
