New Orleans Drunk History Tours

Louisiana sayings and Real Louisiana backyard words include one that gives you away the second you say it: a mosquito hawk.

Somewhere else in this country, folks call it a dragonfly. Down here, that word just sounds a little too fancy for something that patrols the backyard every summer evening. A mosquito hawk earns its name. It hovers over the tall grass by the bayou, darts after the bugs, and does more work against the mosquitoes than any citronella candle ever did.

A lot of us grew up being told never to swat one. MawMaw would say leave it alone, it's on our side. PawPaw would point one out sitting on the end of his fishing pole and call it good luck. Kids chased them across the yard with both hands cupped and never once caught one.

And here's the funny part. In some parts of the South, a mosquito hawk means a whole different bug, the long-legged crane fly that bumps around the porch light. So depending on which side of the parish line you were raised, you might be ready to argue about it.

Either way, it's one of those words that tells everybody exactly where you're from. You don't learn it from a book. You learn it on the back steps on a hot evening, watching them hover over the grass.

Tonight was to much fun on the New Orleans Drunk History Tours especially the 9pm tour. Two of the sweetest girls joined the tour all the way from Kenya!! 🇰🇪 I think after this tour they may just be moving to New Orleans! ❣️

I realize that of all the tour companies my guests chose mine to explore the city. It’s flattering and I appreciate each guest.

I genuinely love showing my guests around this beautiful city. This isn’t a job it is a well paying privilege that I’m just blessed with and I take that seriously. —- Ashli

Guests cannot seem to get enough of Ashlis comical sense of humor. Reviews mention that they enjoy the passion that she has for the city and the way she entertains guests. One reviewer writes: I love when she said you haven’t seen a ghost yet? What?!?! That just can’t be! Drink up the more you drink the better chances you see a ghost!
She provides guests with real paranormal equipment to use during the tour which adds to the fun.

Ashli captivates an audience with her one of a kind silly faces and fun loving attitude- she had us all laughing at the moment that she said, well you may want to drink some additional adult beverages that is sure to help anyone of us see a ghost lol
I understand that when she said learning is intoxicating, she meant it.

These tours are a blast! They have not received the best of the best awards and recognitions for no reason.

If you have time talk with Ashli when you are planning a tour! Or planning on visiting New Orleans or the surrounding areas! She is busting full of knowledge from the French Quarter all the way to the bayou swamp land.

6 Tips For History Buffs In New Orleans
The Big Easy has been at the center of life on the Gulf Coast since the days of the French Mississippi Company, and you can find that legacy throughout the incredible variety of things to do in New Orleans. You can walk the cobbled streets of the French Quarter to visit storefronts older than the United States, relive the age of the paddle-wheelers with a trip on a classic steamboat, or take a walk through plantation life in the carefully maintained manors just outside of town.

We can confirm that there’s a good reason why the nightlife is one of the most legendary things to do in New Orleans, and it just so happens that a lot of it happens in the oldest part of town. The alleys and cobbled lanes around Bourbon Street are filled with legends of ghosts, vampires, mobsters, and voodoo queens—a mélange that makes way more sense after you’ve visited a few of the bars that fill the scene. A guide from Show Me New Orleans can help you learn the city’s oldest secrets in a whole new way and they sure can help you explore the world of true crime in ways you could never imagine.

The transition from a small-town ballet teacher in Missouri to a bold entrepreneur

Navigating the challenges of a major life reset—moving as a single mother to a new city and the determination required to build a life from scratch.

The "investigator" mindset: Dustin, Ashli’s husband, jokingly laughed about his wife being an investigator. Her investigator skills have paid off big time! Along with commitment to education, from attending community college for history, architecture to learning the nuanced history of New
Orleans' vampires and ghosts.

Hey party people, Mardi Gras is just around the corner - January 6, 2026, to be exact.

That's when the king cake season officially kicks off, and some of our local supermarkets are already getting in on the action by selling those delicious treats. But let's get one thing straight, folks: don't even think about taking a bite before the big day. We can't stress this enough.

Eating king cake before January 6th is breaking a sacred rule in New Orleans - the Mardi Gras gods will not hesitate to give you a rude awakening.

So go ahead and buy that king cake, just don't eat it until the time is right! You have been warned. If you defy the Mardi Gras Gods, you might just find yourself on the receiving end of a nasty surprise. Like getting smacked in the face by a flying pack of beads from the Krewe of Hercules float - trust us, it hurts. I've been there, done that, and still have the bruise to prove it. It'll knock you out cold. Don't risk it, just wait until January 6th. 

Or picture this: you're stuck in parade traffic when some party animal decides to use your car as a personal trampoline and barf factory. Don't laugh, it happens! You'll be stuck there for hours, wondering how you ended up in this mess, all because you couldn't resist that king cake on January 5th. Remember, it's on you. You should've waited.

Happy Mardi Gras from your friends at New Orleans Drunk History Tours / Show Me New Orleans Tours Corporation. Dustin & Ashli Fisher, Owners. Coty Young, Lead Tour Guide.

With that being said…
