Cocktail Walking Tour

Been to New Orleans many times, never been on one of the cocktail walking tours. Can someone give me the 411 on them please. Are there more than one company that does them? What times do they meet? How many and what bars to they go to??? How long does it last? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Cocktail Walking Tour

There are several and you can find some reports here on trip advisor.

You go to 4-6 places and learn the history of the bar or restaurant and other history of the city but the bars they go to can change due to crowds and a multitude of reasons. It last several hours and you do pay for your own drinks but if you join a fun group it can be a real good time.

You pay for your own drinks? For some reason, I thought drinks were included. Must be a liability thing!

The original tour is through Gray Lines, and it leaves from the lighthouse by the river at 4 p.m. each day. Just google new orleans cocktail tour.

It%26#39;s not a club crawl, more of a history lesson, and you do buy your own drinks. My wife and I went last month and shared the cocktails, but there were several in our group that were feeling pretty good by the end. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.

The bars you visit vary depending on the day, crowd, etc. We went to 6 bars, and the tour ended at 7:30.

It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.

In fact, if you go to the ';things to do'; on the left of this forum, the tour is ranked as the #2 ';attraction'; in New Orleans!

Thanks to all for the info. I read the 21 reviews from the link above here in TA, and all 21 recommended the tour, and all said pretty much the same thing...do it early in your trip. We%26#39;re good-good.
