About this Experience

What you’ll do:

Sip your way through the French Quarter on a New Orleans cocktail tour that pairs the city’s most famous drinks with the stories that made them.

  • Walk the French Quarter - Cover about a mile of historic streets with a local guide, taking in the architecture and more than 300 years of history.

  • Drink the Classics - Taste iconic New Orleans cocktails like the Sazerac, Hurricane, and Daiquiri at 3 hand-picked bars.

  • Hear the Backstory - Learn how each drink became part of the city’s story from a guide who knows the neighborhood like a local.

  • Grab a Bite - Refuel at a local food stop between rounds.

  • Toast Above Jackson Square - Enjoy a drink on a balcony overlooking the square while street music drifts up from below.

This French Quarter bar crawl skips the tourist traps and puts you in front of some of the best bartenders in the city. Book it early in your trip and you’ll leave with a list of places worth coming back to.

Why we love it for your party:

  • All-Inclusive Ticket - Food, drinks, tax, and server tips are covered, so no one is splitting checks at the bar.

  • Hand-Picked Local Bars - Drink at small, locally owned spots chosen for their bartenders, not their crowds.

  • Zero Planning Required - Your guide handles the route and the stops, so your group can just show up and enjoy the night.

  • Built for Celebrations - A natural fit for bachelorette and bachelor parties, birthdays, and group trips, with ticket discounts for groups of 5 or more.

  • Insider Recommendations - Get your guide’s picks for where to eat, drink, and explore for the rest of your visit.
