New Orleans Original Craft Cocktail Walking Tour
Descrição
Aproveite os pátios do Quarteiro Francês, os cocktails clássicos e a história divertida! Você sabia que a palavra "cocktail" teve origem em Nova Orleans? Em uma cidade que fomenta a criatividade e inspira inspiração, não é de admirar que a história esteja tão intimamente entrelaçada com uma cultura culinária. Nesta excursão em grupo, você beberá da rica história da cidade enquanto explora o Bairro Francês, onde a hora é sempre feliz. Se você não terminar sua bebida, peça um "para ir copo." Isto não é um bar crawl. É história... com uma torção!
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Embarque em sua exploração da cultura de coquetéis de Nova Orleans na bilheteria do Gray Line Lighthouse, bem no rio Mississippi, no bairro francês da cidade. Seu grupo de foliões de 21 anos ou mais percorrerá as ruas históricas do bairro, entrando e saindo de bares e restaurantes em edifícios que ainda são belos exemplos da arquitetura colonial francesa e espanhola. Embora seja fácil se perder na história ao seu redor, as verdadeiras estrelas do passeio são os coquetéis. Ouça enquanto seus guias revelam as histórias por trás de cada libação inventiva e os personagens que os trouxeram à vida. Aprenda a história do Sazerac, que remonta a 1850.
Entre no Court of Two Sisters’ Carriageway Bar pelos portões de charme, forjados na Espanha e abençoados pela rainha Isabella. Agora um restaurante mundialmente famoso por seu brunch de jazz e pátio coberto por uma glicínia de 130 anos, o quarteirão mantém uma história viva desde 1726.
No cruzamento de dois becos de paralelepípedos nas sombras da Catedral de St. Louis, há um lendário ponto de encontro pirata. Lá você conhecerá a “fada verde” conhecida como Absinthe, o elixir místico de ervas que induziu a criatividade inebriante em muitos autores, artistas, poetas e músicos.
Relaxe na antiga residência de Antoine Peychaud, o boticário crioulo que prescrevia e dispensava seu Peychaud's Bitters à base de ervas patenteado, que mais tarde se tornaria o principal ingrediente do Sazerac, o primeiro coquetel da América e o coquetel oficial de Nova Orleans.
*EXPERIENCE UPGRADED ONLY* - Não há nada como o jazz que agita a alma para elevar seu espírito. Seu tour termina em uma nota alta no Fritzel's, não seu típico bar de mergulho. Este pub de jazz apresenta o who's who do jazz de Nova Orleans, atraindo fãs de jazz de todo o mundo. Você é bem-vindo para ficar para o show, em seguida, caminhar para o jantar em um dos muitos restaurantes do Quartier Francês perto.

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.
Val was a wonderful tour guide; she was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to interact with. However, I would like to note that some of the bars may only accept cash, and this information is not mentioned on the website.
Kyla, we are pleased to read your review of the Cocktail Tour with Val. Thank you for the note on the cash-only policy at some bars. We will clarify and update the information.
