Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

Wow! The restoration of this building was amazing, and the pictures on their web page are not lying. This place is beautiful. It's part active distillery and part museum, and all of it is world class. The free tour is top-notch. John, our tour guide, weaved together New Orleans culture and history, served up some yummy libations and the 1.5 hours passed by quickly. Our group of 5 agreed that we want to come back with our wives and other friends because this place and the tour are great. If it wasn't for Covid, this place would be packed. And it certainly deserves its high ranking on things do in NOLA.
