Tour a piedi del cocktail artigianale di New Orleans
Descrizione
Goditi i cortili del Quartiere Francese, i cocktail classici e la storia divertente! Sapevate che la parola “cocktail” ha avuto origine a New Orleans? In una città che promuove la creatività e respira ispirazione, non c’è da meravigliarsi che la storia sia così strettamente legata a una cultura culinaria. In questo tour per piccoli gruppi berrai nella ricca storia della città mentre esplori il quartiere Francese, dove l'ora è sempre felice. Se non finisci il tuo drink, chiedi un “to go cup”. Questo non e' un bar crawl. E' storia... con un colpo di scena!

Itinerario
Parti per la tua esplorazione della cultura dei cocktail di New Orleans dalla biglietteria del faro di Gray Line, proprio sul fiume Mississippi nel quartiere francese della città. Il tuo gruppo di festaioli dai 21 anni in su percorrerà le strade storiche del quartiere, entrando e uscendo da abbeveratoi e ristoranti in edifici che sono ancora splendidi esempi di architettura coloniale francese e spagnola. Mentre è facile perdersi nella storia di ciò che ti circonda, i veri protagonisti del tour sono i cocktail. Ascolta mentre le tue guide rivelano le storie dietro ogni libagione inventiva e i personaggi che le hanno dato vita. Scopri la storia del Sazerac, che risale al 1850.
Entra nel Carriageway Bar Court of Two Sisters attraverso i cancelli incantati, forgiati in Spagna e benedetti dalla regina Isabella. Ora un ristorante famoso in tutto il mondo per il suo brunch jazz e il cortile coperto da una vite di glicine di 130 anni, il blocco ha mantenuto una storia vivace dal 1726.
All'incrocio di due vicoli acciottolati all'ombra della Cattedrale di St. Louis, c'è un leggendario ritrovo dei pirati. Lì incontrerai la "fata verde" conosciuta come Assenzio, il mistico elisir di erbe che ha indotto una creatività inebriante in molti autori, artisti, poeti e musicisti.
Rilassati nell'ex residenza di Antoine Peychaud, il farmacista creolo che prescrisse e distribuì i suoi Peychaud's Bitters a base di erbe brevettati, che sarebbero poi diventati l'ingrediente chiave del Sazerac, il primo cocktail americano e il cocktail ufficiale di New Orleans.
*SOLO ESPERIENZA AGGIORNATA* - Non c'è niente di meglio del jazz soul-stirling per sollevare il vostro spirito. Il tuo tour termina con una nota alta da Fritzel, non il tipico bar subacqueo. Questo jazz pub presenta il "who's who" del jazz di New Orleans, attirando appassionati di jazz da tutto il mondo. Siete invitati a rimanere per lo spettacolo, poi a piedi a cena in uno dei tanti ristoranti raffinati Quartiere Francese nelle vicinanze.

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.
