Enjoy French Quarter courtyards, classic cocktails, and entertaining history! Did you know that the word “cocktail” originated in New Orleans? In a city that fosters creativity and breathes inspiration, it’s no wonder the history is so closely entwined with a culinary culture. On this small group tour you’ll drink in the rich history of the city as you explore the French Quarter, where the hour is always happy. If you don’t finish your drink, ask for a “to go cup.” This is not a bar crawl. It's history… with a twist!

French Quarter

Embark on your exploration of New Orleans’ cocktail culture from the Gray Line Lighthouse Ticket Office, right on the Mississippi River in the city’s French Quarter. Your group of like-minded 21-and-up revelers will travel the neighborhood’s historic streets, ducking in and out of watering holes and restaurants in buildings that still stand as beautiful examples of French and Spanish Colonial Architecture.While it’s easy to get lost in the history of your surroundings, the real stars of the tour are the cocktails. Listen in as your guides reveal the stories behind each inventive libation and the characters that brought them to life. Learn the story of the Sazerac, which dates back to 1850.
