    Elizabeth is a pro at great storytelling and cocktail mixing! I was honestly surprised when we had already reached the halfway point in the tour. And she had up to date suggestions for what epic bartenders had moved where or opened their own bars! You get 4 drinks plus water for your tour, which makes the price an absolute steal. Loved how everyone was sharing stories of their favorite places and making plans to meet up later. Would absolutely go on this tour again.

    Such an amazing tour! It's definitely a MUST! Probably my favorite part of my vacation. It's not only drinking it's about history.

    This was our kind of tour!! Our family was in New Orleans between Christmas & New Year and this was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and informative as well as entertaining. We loved learning about the history and the drinks themselves. Since returning home, I have used the recipe cards for the drinks we learned about and I must say all 3 of them turned out great (getting the right ingredients makes a difference)! Thanks for a fabulous time!

    I have been to New Orleans numerous times and this was something new. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable on New Orleans history as well as the quintessential cocktails of the Crescent City. I highly recommend this tour! Wear comfortable walking shoes and eat something before your tour.

We meet up at the Voodoo Lounge, where there is a ticket office in the back room. We didn't live the bar--smelled a little bit like a sewer and the hurricanes were super sweet and kind of weak. But we did have but one get one, so wasn't that upset. The tour was great. We saw some interesting, haunted places and heard the history behind them. We didn't linger too long at any one place. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny, although he may have been a tad bit too heavy on the Catholic Church jokes. The tour ended at the LaLaurie house, and our guide shared a story about a little girl on who was recently on his tour who started crying and asked why there were dead people on the balcony. Spooky! I was so intrigued by what he said that I started looking up stories about Delphine LaLaurie and the haunting of the house. When I got home, I even started watching season 3 of American Horror Story, which has the character Delphine LaLaurie (accurate? No. Fun? Yes!). This was a fun way to spend the evening. There was an obnoxiously drunk guy on our tour, and our guide handled him well.

As requested, I will keep the individual location names secret as to not spoil your potential food tour but also because the stops can change and I don't want to have you disappointed if you don't get the same places on your tour. Ty was a great guide, providing us with local history and culture as we ate our way down Magazine Street. The only complaint I have is that they didn't really interact with us during the food portions, standing or sitting off to the side, or running to the next location to make sure we were all set. To me, the guide should be not only the bridge between the locations and food with us, but also a bridge between the different groups on the tour. Ty told us before the tour started that the other folks joining us were from Michigan, but we found out from them later that they were actually from New York. Had these connections been made earlier, it would have enhanced the tour. On to the food, wonderful that it all was! Please note that I may make some errors in the actual names of the food, while I took pictures, I did not write down the names and there wasn't a post-tour recap to assist me! Stop #1: A local sandwich and a seafood side. Both quite good, especially since I don't like olives! Stop #2: An unusual meat that was shockingly good! Stop #3: Seafood options. I've had a different version of one of these items in Asheville, NC. This wasn't quite as good but still tasty. Stop #4: Southern favorites that were so good! I didn't think I would like these but I did. Stop #5: A peppermint fudge cupcake. Sadly, the weakest stop on the tour. Other that tried the gelato came away disappointed and my cupcake was neither overly fudgey or pepperminty. It looked pretty, though!

You can immediately tell he doesn't just *recite* stories--he has deeply researched them. Every detail was accurate, thoughtfully sourced, and presented with care and integrity. In a city where true crime can easily slip into sensationalism, Drew handled each story with respect, depth, and historical context. That matters, and it showed. What truly sets Drew apart is how he performs the stories. His delivery was engaging without being theatrical for the sake of it. He told each case with genuine love and passion, making the history feel alive while honoring the real people involved. He kept the group fully engaged from start to finish--thorough, entertaining, and never rushed. Drew is the kind of guide who elevates the entire experience and reflects incredibly well on your company. He's not just knowledgeable--he's a storyteller, a historian, and a professional who clearly takes pride in what he does. A true gem, and absolutely someone you want representing your tours. Highly recommend--especially if you're lucky enough to get Drew as your guide.

It had rained the night before and I saw in previous reviews that the area can be muddy. The path is paved so no need to worry about your shoes if it has rained or is raining. You check in and wait in a tourist center (opens at 8:30am) next to the cemetery so there's a cafe to buy coffee or snacks while you wait and restrooms to use before you start the tour. The tour goes by quickly and the cemetery is small. It can be hard to see sometimes depending where you are as the group moves and reforms at stopping points. However it's easy to snap pictures if you hang back. The guide works to make sure everyone can see but don't hold up the group with your photography endeavors! This was great for our elementary aged child and was not scary at all. The walking was easy. I did not see anyone with strollers and think that would be hard to navigate. I also would not bring small children who cannot attend to the guide or stay quiet for others to hear. You end at Marie Laveau's grave. Tips can be provided in cash or Venmo.

There is a wonderful narrator letting you know when you pass interesting sites. The Domino Sugar factory that you pass is really something to see, and it's hard to believe it's still in use. They make a stop at the Chalmette Battlefield (you can get off the boat or stay and relax on the boat). There is a tour guide who talks about the battleground, which is pretty interesting. The best thing about the Creole Queen is the narrator. After the battlefield, the second half of the tour focuses on Hurricane Katrina.
