Andre was an amazing tour guide!! I took multiple tours while I was in NOLA and I've taken many food tours in the US. Andre was by far the best tour guide. His knowledge and love of the city, the culture, the food- truly engrossing. He's chef and can speak in detail about all the dishes we sampled and much more. He also sent us recipes which I've never received before from a food tour! I definitely recommend you request Andre!! A+++!
