Additional Information

I’ve served more pub crawls, by far, than any guide in New Orleans. This provides me preferential, or exclusive, access to select venues that will help aid the tour’s narrative and propel our exploration of New Orleans’ cocktail/ghost history. This tour pays for itself, once you know the places I sip. Between bars, we walk to haunted/historical…

Great tour & perfect mix of history, ghost stories, and great cocktails! - John’s tour was so fun! It was the perfect balance of history, ghost stories, and interesting facts about iconic cocktails in New Orleans. This is actually our second time on John’s tour and it was even better! We got to hear some new story/facts and tried a new cocktail. So much fun and highly recommend. The group is small and intimate, and John is such a great storyteller and guide. He gave lots of recommendations for the rest of our trip too.

Must Do Boutique Tour, so good! - Wonderful experience. He provided facts and ghost stories through engaging storytelling and acting. Told stories I'd never heard. You can tell John puts a lot of effort into his tour as he has also got the stops/bars providing a custom experience for his guests. He's extremely knowledgeable about the NOLA history and very willing to answer questions.

Hands down the most informative ghost tour in New Orleans! - Best ghost tour in New Orleans! John’s passion for history, story telling and the residents of New Orleans past pour out as he guides you from location to location, connecting each rich story to a delicious cocktail. John’s extensive research into each story was only further proven with every question we asked. The experience overall felt far more personalized and engaging than any of the other tours we went to. I recommend John to everyone and will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Nola

10/10 Intimate Boutique Experience is the ONLY way! - I’m so glad we chose to tour with John!! This was SO much better than touring with a large company. Not only was it comfortable due to the intimate group size, but John knows his stuff. The passion he has for history and story-telling is clear and made the experience really entertaining. This tour is a curated cocktail experience. Each stop includes incredible background told enthusiastically by John and the option to try a historical & relevant cocktail! I would definitely recommend trying the cocktails you learn about on the tour, but there’s always the option to choose your own adventure. Support small business and passionate people! 11/10 would recommend this tour to anyone who loves history/story-time/interesting cocktails THANK YOU JOHN!!!
