Our tour guide Leonce was both knowledgeable and entertaining as he led us on a fascinating tour of the historic French Quarter. We visited a variety of restaurants and bars where we learned about the past and present owners, interesting events and local culture. Leonce clearly enjoys his work and sharing his city with visitors.
To be fair, there were two different groups, but I didn’t get to pick which group I was in. We were blocked by hotel staff at the first place, went to where Pimm Cup was invented. We spent 40+ minutes blocking 4 bar stools and I was the only one who made a purchase, could explain why entrance was blocked at the first place. We talked politics and conspiracy theories that moved beyond the bar location and was a big boring waste of time. When the tour leader told us to take the bar stools the had been vacated because we were going to be there a bit longer, I decided to leave. It’s only a 2.5 hour tour and 1 hour was at one located talking about unrelated politics. I really regret wasting money on this tour and understand why the bar tender was really irritated with our presence. The tour leader should have taken us outside for his lecture, not blocking paying customers from access.
Great tour! The tour guide was fun and informative, there was plenty of opportunity to taste as many cocktails as we wished and learned some of the history of the cocktail. Went on during our stay in NOLA to try each and every one.
Tour guide was very informative and made the talks light and enjoyable. Included enough stops along the way to sit and rest before carrying on. No pressure to buy cocktails at every bar which was nice. We also had the option to get a go cup if we needed one. Certainly recommend this tour!
Leonce was a terrific tour guide. We had a great time!
