Outstanding walking tour of Vieux Carre! - Robi provided us an outstanding experience! Prior to our departure Robi inquired as to everyone’s expectations and subsequently tailored our tour to meet our expectations. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Robi is your guide!

Amazing! - Robi was great! So much history! He was very knowledgeable and the tour was great. We had to miss a bar due to construction, but he went with the flow and we walked to Lafitte's. It was a great night!

Fun 3 hours! - Robi was a great guide! It was a good mix of drinks and history. The small group of 8 got more friendly as the tour went along. 3 drinks were provided on the tour and we had two other chances to purchase on our own, which most people did. My wife and I would do this tour again!

Cocktail Options Required - The information shared on the tour was very interesting but we felt that there was sufficient time at each stop where we had a cocktail that we should have been given options as to what cocktail we wanted. At one stop only one person drank the cocktail as it was a very strong whiskey cocktail which does not appeal to everyone and we should of had an option.

Save your money. Not worth it. - We accidentally went to the wrong location so arrived 12 min late. The description of the tour reads 4pm-6pm, 4 craft cocktails at different dining establishments with options for food or additional drink to purchase. We made plans for after and were in a tight schedule. In 2 hrs, we only had 2 cocktails included in our tour. 1 was a rum punch from the tourist check in stand and there was nothing craft about it. We did not get our 2nd drink for an hour. Our 3rd drink was at a Pirate Bar and it was rather gross unless you like Absinthe. But here is the kicker. She NEVER TOLD US WE HAD TO PAY AND IT WAS $20 per drink! So our entire group lines up to order our drink not knowing and the bartender was not going to let us leave without paying! At 5:56, we only had 2 included cocktails and she told me the tour ended at 6:30. Still not sure how we were going to walk to 2 other bars and have a drink in 30 min. We left to make our next engagement. I do not recommend. It was a complete waste of money. The drinks were all terrible. The information on the tour was good, but she could work on the presentation a bit better. Maybe she had too many cocktails prior…
