Circa-1823 apothecary is now a museum with exhibits of early medicines, superstitious cures & more.
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is a historic structure at the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Most likely built as a house in the 1770s during the Spanish colonial period, it is one of the oldest surviving structures in New Orleans. Dimly lit hang & one of the oldest bars around, serving beer & frozen drinks since the 1700s
Pirate’s Alley Cafe, located in the heart of the Vieux Carre, New Orleans. This establishment was conceived in remembrance of those pirates from around the globe who walked these very streets. They brought not only their plundered goods for trade, but also a rich diversity of culture and custom which transformed this port city into one of the most unique spots on the planet.
A favorite for over 160 years, Tujague's Restaurant and Bar provides an unforgettable historic Creole dining experience in the heart of the French Quarter.
If you ever find yourself in the craziness of the French Quarter longing for a chill drink and a sports game, Ryan's Irish Pub is your spot. Join some French Quarter locals and other nearby residents for a refreshing beer, glass of wine, or any of the delicious cocktails offered.

If you’re looking for scary stories this is not the tour for you. If you want to hear real facts about the city, Raffle was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions.
Very informative but in a fun charismatic way. Request Raffle!! Try the drinks. One of the best tours we have ever done.
The BEST tour and tour guide EVER!!!
Loved this tour. Raffle is such a great tour guide (entertaining, engaging, and very knowledgeable). He communicated well as there were some delays and also rain on our tour. This is my second time taking this tour with him and there was new things i heard and learned. I would definitely take another tour with him!
Raffle was a fantastic tour guide. He is local and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history and architecture of the city. He told us a lot of interesting stories. If you go to New Orleans, don’t miss this tour! It was the highlight of our trip!
Enjoyed the tour. Raffle was entertaining and well informed. He showed care and attention to everyone in his group. Highly recommended
Raffle was very knowledgeable about New Orleans history and locations. Peace was wonderful for us and didn’t feel hurried.
Did this tour a couple of evenings ago with Raffle as our tour guide. The group was small and personal and we nearly had our own private haunted tour. After stopping at some local bars with yummy and affordable cocktails and learning some haunted history and quirky facts, two hours had flown by. Raffle is a phenomenal guide with roots in New Orleans which make the experience even more authentic. 10/10 would recommend, cheers!
Raffle knows exactly what he’s talking about. It was such an informational AND fun experience, it was perfect for our first day here. He was also great about checking in & making sure we were doing ok.
The tour is good and very informational about the origins of thing in New Orleans. Not so much about hauntings or horror stories, but factual information. There’s a little bit of walking in and around the French Quarter.
Raffle was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. He did a great job with our fairly large group, spending time individually with each of us, answering questions that we had after doing other activities in the city. Highly recommend for a fun and informative walk through the French Quarter and visits to interesting bars!!
Raffle was awesome and very knowledgeable. Good amount of walking . Definitely recommend this tour. Worth the walk .
Guide was outstanding! Personable and knowledgeable. Fun stops, tons of information and enjoyable pace.
Go on this tour! This was the first thing we did when we arrived in NOLA, and it did not disappoint. Raffle was a fantastic tour guide with so much knowledge and passion for his city. We learned a ton and got some great recommendations!
We had a great experience with Raffle. He knows everyone, and so much about the city of New Orleans! It was a great experience!
Raffle is such a great guide- so personable and full of information! You can tell he really cares about getting to know you and making sure you’re comfortable.
Our tour guide was amazing and funny he tought us so much about New Orleans history. I’ve been many times but have always wanted to do a tour and so glad I did we had a great time.
Raffle was an incredible guide, so knowledgeable and friendly! Loved the personal connections he shared. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Extremely knowledgeable and high energy guide….learned so much about the city and had an amazing time !
Raffle was an amazing guide who gave us such an honest look at the city!! Our first drink of the evening was the most delicious hurricane ever provided by our guide; but the best drink in my opinion was the Pimm's Cup at Neopolian House. It was so much fun to learn the history of confirmed hauntings in NOLA- will definitely take a tour with Raffle again!!
Raffle gave us a great tour filled with NOLA history and personal anecdotes. The entire experience was excellent. One thing to know is that some of the stops are cash only, so bring cash or an ATM card.
Raffle is an awesome tour guide! He is passionate about the history of New Orleans. He adapted well with our drunken group, and we had many laughs along the way. He also guided us to a great place to eat after the tour. The tour could have had more "haunted" stories but hey, any "ghost" tour is mostly made up. You do get the real deal of information here. Highly recommend!
Our guide Rafelle was very knowledgeable and informative. He kept the tour interesting and personable. we learned a lot about the history of New Orleans. Thanks
Great host and amazing history. The tour lived up to his name and then some. It felt like a group of friends walking around the neighborhood, we didn't feel like tourists at all. Highly recommend and eat before because there's a lot of bar stops :) He also has some great restaurant recommendations along the way..
We learned a lot about the history of New Orleans. Had some fabulous drinks and got good recommendations from our guide.
Informative and entertaining... Raffle is extremely knowledgeable and a very professional tour guide. Wear good walking shoes. I would recommend this tour for anyone traveling to New Orleans.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT. Our guide Raffle is someone who is truly in love with his city and ready to share it with everyone. My group and I could've walked around with him all day! I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to NOLA, especially for their first time. We went back the next day to roam the areas he took us too lol.
Fun tour through the French quarter! My first time in New Orleans and this was a unique experience to hear about the history (and get some good drinks)
Raffle was very knowledgeable and did a great job! The drinks were also great and we learned a lot about the history in NOLA.
Our tour guide was excellent, he interacted well with the group. The pace was easy and tour guide provided a ton of information.
We met up with our tour at Ryan's pub and started our night with a Hurricane. Raffle was our tour guide. Turns out, it was just us for the tour, so we had a personal tour guide. Raffle was born and raised in the French Quarter. He knew all the good drinking spots and food places. He provided us with an entertaining explanation of the history of the places we visited. He had some interesting ancedotes about New Orleans. Would have been even more fun if there was a bigger group to interact with, however, we were visiting during slow time of year.
Comprehensive and informative tour of New Orleans' best spots. Delivered humourously and at a comfortable pace. We would definitely recommend Raffle, our guide.
It was cancelled twice,the first was few hours before and I changed it to a different day.Not good enough !
This was an awesome tour and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about New Orleans. Tons of fun
The tour was very exciting. Raffle led us through the streets and was very knowledgeable and fun. Would definitely do it again.
Tour guide seemed very knowledgeable, but he didn’t go in depth on the haunted history side of the city. Instead he taught us many architectural and historical facts about the city.
Raffe was exceptional. Personal. Knowledgeable. Took us to some interesting bars in addition to talking about New Orleans. Just acting evening.
I had a great with Raffle, who showed us all the great spots for drinks, places for food, and that haunted history! I would really recommend having a tour with him!
Should be first on the list. Tour guide made the experience! He was very knowledgeable about the area history and gave several suggestions for eating and drinking.
Raffle is an amazing guide with funny and relative insights spun with humor! Everyone enjoyed the tour
I based my choice of this tour off of previous reviews so I thought I’d leave one for the next person trying to pick 1 out of the dozens going on in Nola - THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT! We could not have had a better time with our tour guide Raffle who was not only hilarious and charismatic, but offered stories that felt authentic to real New Orleans history with an edge of perfectly balanced humor and entertainment. We also enjoyed all of the bars we stopped in that felt less like tourist traps and more like your local neighborhood hangouts. Not to mention the various yummy drinks we had along the way with great suggestions from Raffle himself. If you want fun and the real deal, this is the tour for you!
Raffle, our tour guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about the town and took us to some great spots. His stories were informative and entertaining. At the end of the tour he suggested a restaurant where we had the best meal! It was a fun experience all around.
This tour was awesome, wear comfortable shoes it’s a long walk however totally worth it. Bars are such a vibe our tour guide 5 out of 5 starts
Loved all of the history of the city while enjoying stops at multiple bars with recommendations by the guide. Would tour again. Raffle was the best!
Raffle was fantastic! Entertaining and engaging tour, with great storytelling and stops along the way. The bar stops and drinks were a fun add!
We had a blast! Raffel was so knowledgeable about New Orleans and this tour was definitely the highlight of our trip.
We had such a great time on the drunken history tour with guide Raffle. He is a French Quarter native and full of info about the area. It felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with a fun new friend who happens to know about every bar, restaurant, and building in the area. He made great recommendations for places to visit during our stay. Highly recommend!
Raffle was excellent. We appreciated his authenticity. He was raised in the French quarter and had real life stories. Several stops at cool bars with several drink and food recommendations. Do it early in your trip. Fun way to get your bearings in the quarter. We'll tour with him again next time we visit.
Rafel was so fun and such a character! He took us to all the best bars in town, I’m sure and made sure to be courteous to other tours, open businesses, and pedestrians which I really valued. He also went above and beyond for me when I had a hiccup with the cash bars. The only feedback I would say is the tour should be more clear that some bars are cash only since so many of us are cashless.
