On day one of our visit, my wife and I decided to sign up for this tour with some reservations- as we are not big group tour people . However, I have to say that this was one of the highlights of our visit to New Orleans. Sandy, our guide, was very informative and obviously very passionate of the city's cocktail history and the local prime haunts and bartenders in the city. While the 8 people on the tour began as strangers, we left being best drinking buddies- with a healthy dose of a shared knowledge of the cocktails and local establishments of the city.
