Itinerario
Embárquese en su exploración de la cultura de cócteles de Nueva Orleans desde la taquilla de Gray Line Lighthouse, justo en el río Mississippi en el Barrio Francés de la ciudad. Su grupo de juerguistas mayores de 21 años con ideas afines recorrerá las calles históricas del vecindario, entrando y saliendo de abrevaderos y restaurantes en edificios que aún se mantienen como hermosos ejemplos de la arquitectura colonial francesa y española. Si bien es fácil perderse en la historia de su entorno, las verdaderas estrellas del recorrido son los cócteles. Escuche mientras sus guías revelan las historias detrás de cada libación inventiva y los personajes que les dieron vida. Conozca la historia del Sazerac, que se remonta a 1850.
Ingrese al Court of Two Sisters Carriage Bar a través de las puertas de encanto, forjadas en España y bendecidas por la reina Isabel. Ahora, un restaurante mundialmente famoso por su brunch de jazz y su patio cubierto por una enredadera de glicina de 130 años, el bloque ha mantenido una historia viva desde 1726.
En la intersección de dos callejones empedrados a la sombra de la Catedral de St. Louis, hay un Lugar de reunión de piratas legendarios. Allí conocerá al "hada verde" conocida como Absinthe, el místico elixir de hierbas que indujo una creatividad embriagadora en muchos autores, artistas, poetas y músicos.
Relájese en la antigua residencia de Antoine Peychaud, el boticario criollo que recetó y dispensó sus amargos herbales patentados de Peychaud, que luego se convertirían en el ingrediente clave del Sazerac, el primer cóctel de Estados Unidos y el cóctel oficial de Nueva Orleans.
*EXPERIENCIA MEJORADA SOLO* - No hay nada como el jazz estimulante para levantar el ánimo. Su recorrido termina con una nota alta en Fritzel's, no en su típico bar de buceo. Este pub de jazz presenta el quién es quién del jazz de Nueva Orleans, atrayendo a aficionados al jazz de todo el mundo. Le invitamos a quedarse para el espectáculo, luego caminar a cenar en uno de los muchos restaurantes del Barrio Francés cercanos.

We got to the meeting point 10 minutes later due to traffic and the group already had left. The lady at the ticket there was nothing to do and we were out of luck.
We want all our guests to enjoy their experience with us. We regret that we could not delay the tour. If we inconvenience others by delaying their tour we are not providing the best service to the most guests.
Brandy was very personable, friendly, and informative. I would highly recommend booking with Brandy!! Let her know Tri-Pod sent you! Trish says hi!
How precious - we will certainly share with Brandy. Thank you for recommending this true New Orleans tour.
Robi did a fantastic job weaving together the history of New Orleans with the way the different described drinks interacted. We had a great time and would highly recommend.
Your high recommendation means so much to us, and especially to our guide Robi!
It was a fun, informative experience! Our group was easy and Val, our tour guide was knowledgeable and super personable!
Thanks so much for the great review on the tour and your guide Val.
After so many great Viator tours, this one missed the mark totally. We had a cocktail tour in the past in NOLA and was 5-star. The tour took us to 4 bars. For the “VIP” package, which cost an addition a $40, you got two drinks at 2 of the bars, and the other 2 bars were pay as you go, or cash only. The tour was excessively lengthy, running over its 2hour timeframe by 40 minutes, making us late to dinner. The bars were all over the place and we did a fair amount of walking with a group of 12. Lots of history shared , but unbalanced with time allowed and purpose of tour. The last cocktail tour was very well made drinks in glass , this tour was sloppy made drinks in plastic cups- definitely not worth $20 a drink!!!! Overall, not well organized, and no value.
We certainly are disappointed to learn that your tour did not meet your expectations. Your comments will be discussed with the tour manager. The tour is posted at 2hr and 30minutes, so that would be 10 minutes over. Plastic cups do allow guests to leave with their cocktails, but glass containers are not allowed on the street. That is for everyone's safety.
We really enjoyed the history lesson of NOLA and the French Quarters. Cocktails at Peychauds were really good!
We always enjoy the reviews of this particular tour. It is an intimate look at the French Quarter after dark. Thank you.
Everyone in our group upgraded to the VIP package with three full size cocktails. The jazz club at the end is the real deal…great music. The tour guide Katherine was interesting and shared a lot of New Orleans history. Based on the tour description, we expected to go to three bar/restaurants and the jazz club. We actually went to five, which was excellent, however cocktails were cash and carry at the extra two establishments. We weren’t expecting to pay more during the tour. We could have chosen not to partake, but when in Rome… Be sure to eat and carb up before you go! Enjoy!
It sounds like an evening to remember! Katherine wants to not only inform and entertain, she wants to be certain that you leave with a smile and a song in your heart. Thanks so very much for all the details.
Very well organized! There was quite a bit of walking but we had 5 breaks with a chance to sit at each location. The drinks were great and Val was really good at keeping the conversation going. She really knows her NOLA history.
The Cocktail Tour is an interesting combination of Tales of the City, true history, and introduction to the drinks born in New Orleans. Val is an expert at sharing all of that and more.
Robi was a tremendous tour guide. Fun, very informative and interesting. Learned things about NOLA history and cocktails I hadn’t heard before. Had a great time.
If you had a great time then Robi and Gray Line met their goals. Sharing cocktails with new friends and stories of French Quarter for hundreds of years should keep you spell bound.
Our guide Kimberly was great! Very passionate about the city and its history. Great activity to do at the start of your trip to get yourself acquainted with NOLA and pick up a ton of recommendations.
