This was a good way to get a brief history and sample the local food of New Orleans. We went back to a couple of the restaurants that we sampled because we were pleased with the food. The guide was great. She provided some good recommendations on where to get specific entrees we’re looking for and we went back to that places multiple times. I would recommend doing this tour!
It was so much fun our guide Meg made sure we were taken care of and was a wealth of knowledge when it came to NOLA and its culture. Highly recommend this tour!
The tour was delicious and informative. We loved the history behind the foods and appreciated Beth’s knowledge and her unique ability to tell us stories of the past. She’s one of one. If you love good food and history…Take the tour with Beth.
It was the perfect amount of walking, food and history. Beth was amazing and I would highly recommend this food tour.
Excellent tour for both food quality & variety, even for vegetarians, & information provided by the guide. Enjoyable time & experience.
Beth was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable on New Orleans history and relating it to their foods. great restaurant choices.
I was very happy with the tour all around. I felt the selection was balanced, the distance was fine & our guide, Beth, was amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge, not only about NOLA, but every state each tour participant was from, she knew some tidbit of history. Really enjoyed all the information we learned. Will I remember it? Hopefully, but it was a lot. We had a vegetarian in our group & each establishment catered to his needs. The first restaurant was very nice, it was at the meeting spot 3rd Block Depot. We ate chicken & sausage gumbo. I didn’t think I liked gumbo, but it was good. Then we were off the Pepper Palace. We had ice cream with spicy sauce. It was hot! Then we went to Leah’s Prailine. The brittle was so good I had to buy some. The toNola Poboys. We had catfish poboy, boudin ball (very good) and muffeletta. Then to to Creole Cookery. The restaurant was so nice inside. Ate beans & rice and bananas foster. Both were very good. I had zero Complaints & would recommend.
Beth was very informative and we had a great experience, highly recommend. Everything was delicious.
The guide was great and the food choices were indicative of the local cuisine. But we did not think the dishes were that tasty and the food was seldom warm.
Good afternoon, Robert! I'm so glad you enjoyed the guide and thought she was great. Sorry you didn't care for the food choices. All the best, Dylan
Fun, educational, food worthy. The tour guide made the trip more enjoyable than I could have imagined.
