About
Take a shot or two with a chaser of New Orleans history. Some libations and citations, if you will. The Drunken History walking tour is a one-of-a-kind excursion.
New Orleans and booze go together like Red Beans and Rice. We’ve been the party capital of the American South since before it was American or South. Around here we’ve figured out that just about anything can be enhanced with some (a lot) of alcohol. That’s why we decided it was about time our visitors had the opportunity to stroll through the French Quarter, learning our history while simultaneously indulging in an age old New Orleans tradition (drink like a local).
This 21 and older experience isn’t your ordinary walking tour. For one, the tour guide can, and will drink with you the whole time. Being a full walking tour of the French Quarter, you’ll get the riveting stories and important knowledge necessary for a full understanding of our unique city, but thanks to the inclusion of alcohol and the characteristic lack of children, don’t expect the guide to leave out any of the gruesome or sexy parts.
Meeting Location:*
