New Orleans Original Craft Cocktail Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Njut av Franska kvarterets innergårdar, klassiska cocktails och underhållande historia! Visste du att ordet ”cocktail” har sitt ursprung i New Orleans? I en stad som främjar kreativitet och andas inspiration är det inte konstigt att historien är så nära sammanflätad med en kulinarisk kultur. På den här rundturen i liten grupp dricker du i stadens rika historia när du utforskar de Franska kvarteren, där timmen alltid är lycklig. Om du inte dricker upp din drink, be om en ”to go cup”. Det här är ingen bar crawl. Det är historia... med en twist!

Resplan
Ge dig ut på din utforskning av New Orleans cocktailkultur från Grey Line Lighthouse Ticket Office, precis vid Mississippifloden i stadens franska kvarter. Din grupp likasinnade 21-år och uppåt-fester kommer att resa runt grannskapets historiska gator, ducka in och ut ur vattenhål och restauranger i byggnader som fortfarande står som vackra exempel på fransk och spansk kolonialarkitektur. Även om det är lätt att gå vilse i din omgivnings historia, är de riktiga stjärnorna på turnén cocktails. Lyssna in när dina guider avslöjar berättelserna bakom varje uppfinningsrik libation och karaktärerna som väckte dem till liv. Lär dig historien om Sazerac, som går tillbaka till 1850.
Gå in i Court of Two Sisters’ Carriageway Bar genom charmportarna, som är tillverkade i Spanien och välsignade av drottning Isabella. Nu en restaurang världsberömd för sin jazzbrunch och innergård täckt av en 130 år gammal blåregnsranka, har kvarteret haft en livlig historia sedan 1726.
I skärningspunkten mellan två kullerstensgränder i skuggorna av St. Louis Cathedral, ligger en legendariska pirathäng. Där möter du den "gröna älvan" känd som Absint, det mystiska örtelexiret som framkallade berusande kreativitet hos många författare, konstnärer, poeter och musiker.
Koppla av i Antoine Peychauds tidigare bostad, den kreolska apotekaren som ordinerade och delade ut sin patenterade växtbaserade Peychaud's Bitters, som senare skulle bli nyckelingrediensen i Sazerac, USA:s första cocktail och den officiella cocktailen i New Orleans.
*UPPGRADERAD UPPLEVELSE ENDAST* - Det finns inget som soul-rörande jazz för att höja humöret. Turen slutar på en hög nivå på Fritzel's, inte din typiska dykbar. På denna jazzpub hittar du New Orleans jazzens vem är vem, som drar jazzentusiaster från hela världen. Du är välkommen att stanna för showen, sedan gå på middag på en av många fina Franska kvarteren restauranger i närheten.

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.
