This was the perfect way to spend our first night in the French quarter! The true crime was on point! The drinks were cool! Our girl was amazing I totally forgot her name but it started with a D. She was the best tour guide we had all week! She kept us interested and got us familiarized with the streets! 10 out of 10!
