Pub Crawl: New Orleans Cocktail and Ghost Tour
Description
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 locations unveiling the culture, history, architecture, and the city's terrifying past.

I didn’t really care for this tour. I didn’t really care for the tour guys stories or his mannerisms, was very acted out like he was on stage as an actor someone might like it, I just prefer a more professional historian type of tour guide. I didn’t care for the pub stops . Lots of walking three different pubs, interesting different drinks but two of them I didn’t care for, but that was my deal. You can order whatever you want. just didn’t do anything for me.
Yah, I make history fun. As it states on the description , "This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show." I am a professional historian type for half of the tour. When I am story-teller, I try and bring old stories alive. You were complaining about walking as soon as you showed up - it's just not that much walking. You can see where the tour ends from the place it starts. My stories are sourced in the old books of New Orleans - which why I don't do vampire stories, or show you blurry pictures. For those considering booking this tour, please read the description. I am careful to provide what I say I will. I have issued you a refund. I'm here because I've honed this tour over 10 years, and I have made people ecstatic doing so. For those that don't get it, I give you your money back. I work incredibly hard at what I do, and for those that don't get it - I refund. That seems like a fair policy.
John is an incredible historian. He is fluent in all things NOLA and really passes on as much info as you want. He’s also a GREAT storyteller
Amazing story teller! He had so many good stories! He combined historical facts and New Orleans lore which made a very entertaining and enjoyable tour! The bars and unique cocktails we were able to drink made the tour unforgettable!
This was our favourite tour we did in New Orleans - John was an incredible guide. As he led us around the streets of the French Quarter, he told us the history of the people through extremely well researched narratives, which he delivered in character. His passionate delivery kept us captivated from beginning to end and we learned alot. He linked the stories to different pubs, most of which were local gems and had a part in developing the cocktails unique to NOLA. There was no pressure in purchasing any drinks, or having anything you didn't want to, but having cocktails made to the original recipe, having John deliver them, and then share in a relaxing moment so we could enjoy them made the evening really special. Having time to get to know the other tour guests, sharing a drink, travel stories and experiences made the night one to truly remember. Thanks so much John.
John knew his history. The stories he told were from history, written in books dated in the 1800’s. And he told them with his eyes as he shared them with us. Want Vampire tales this is NOT your tour. Want history on drinks from the past and true ghost stories YES he is the one.
Great narrated tales while touring the historic French Quarter. The Guide was amazing, animated, personable. Fantastic cocktail recommendations along the way.
Fun time. Interesting stories. John was great. Passionate about his work.
John is mild mannered at first meeting, but when the bell rings, it's showtime. He tells personally curated, far-from-generic macabre stories with a hauntingly dramatic flair. He knows a lot about NOLA and takes his guests immersion and enjoyment seriously. The pubs he chose are intimate and tantalizing - and you're not likely to stumble upon them on your own. A+
He really does his research about the ghost stories, which I really appreciated! He specializes in New Orleans stories and is extremely passionate. Would definitely support this small business and he keeps the customers’ best interests at heart!
John was absolutely amazing!!! We had an incredible time! This is a must do tour! This was our girls trip and we all highly recommend it!
