Do not doubt a second - Our guide Beth should be given The Best Tour Guide Ever award! You’d want a friend like her in NOLA. This was the best tour we have ever had.

Great Tour, Petty Tour Guide - The tour itself and the drinks were phenomenal. Exactly as advertised and a totally great experience that I recommend. However, at the end of the trip one of the 6 guests tipped the tour guide $10 for themselves only. Before the rest of the group was able to pitch in their respective tip amounts, the tour guide approached us and gave passive aggressive attitude since she believed she deserved more. She said “doesn’t seem like you had fun when this is all you tip” and “normally people tip more”, before the rest of the group could send in the tips. Very rude and for that matter this tour is a 2 star.
