Take a walk through the French Quarter's famous bars and restaurants and discover the famous "spirits" of New Orleans. It's history...with a twist! Take this tour on your first day in town to find out the places you must visit! From the Sazerac and Pimm's Cup to the Hurricane and Hand Grenade, you'll enjoy a different view of New Orleans through its history of fine dining and drinking. We'll entertain you with classic stories of the unique concoctions made famous here and the characters that brought them to life. Go behind the scenes at the oldest restaurant in the city to visit the wine cellar and the private dining rooms. You'll be shaken (not stirred) by the recipes of the city's most infamous cocktails along the way. Obtain a $5 discount off the photographic essay book by Kerri McCaffety, "Obituary Cocktail", the inspiration for this tour, at Faulkner House Books (in Pirates Alley) by wearing your Gray Line souvenir Mardi Gras beads. You must be 21 years of age or older to take this tour. Note: This is a walking tour on uneven sidewalks and streets, so please wear comfortable shoes! During warmer months, we recommend that you wear lightly colored clothing; caps/hats and umbrellas are also suggested.
