It was a fun and interesting tour with introduction to several local foods with great cultural information. Our tour guide Jack was enthusiastic and well informed about New Orleans, its food and its history. A very fun way to spend an early afternoon.
Nate was very informative, knowledgeable about the history of Louisiana. He was funny and a people person. He explained every food and its origin when we arrived to eat. The restaurants were prepared and expecting our arrivals. The distance between each restaurant was close, so the walking was enjoyable though the temperature was high. I encourage others to book the tour not only for the food, but the history lesson behind all the foods history.
Jack is amazing. He really knows a lot about the history & culture of New Orleans. The food was delicious. The rice ball had a different texture, it was okay. The muffler latte was my favorite.
Wonderful unique food variety. History of Creolevs Cajun. Truelyfun, informative and delicious! Ask for Lauren, you will not be disappointed!
What a fun tour! We loved it!! Kristi was an excellent guide. New Orleans’ food did not disappoint!
We had the best time ever on this tour!! We got a few texts updating us/reminding us of where and when to meet etc and it was extremely efficient with an easily spottable guide, Kristi who greeted us upon arrival. She was absolutely amazing: she was extremely knowledgeable on the foods and histories we were exploring as well as super fun and talkative, she also informed us where every restaurant bathroom was and when/where outside drinks couldn't be taken ahead of time! She was also great about keeping us in the shade when we stopped to talk! We made 6 stops: we started being handed praline cookies at the meeting spot, then stop 1: beignets & calas @bons , 2: boudain @french market, 3:shrimp poboy @the market cafe, 4: muffuletta @ central grocery, 5: gumbo, 6: (more) pralines @school of cooking Portions were also perfect! Not so big you get too full too early but still big enough you are getting ur moneys worth (all pics of food added below)!
This was a really great first tour to do in New Orleans The guide food choices and experience were top notch.learning about the food from history to preparation has really added to the overall experience of being here. If you are on the fence about doing this tour don’t hesitate
Great tour! Our guide Kristi was fantastic! Her knowledge of the history of the city was impressive!
Just finished an incredible small group tour (8 people) with Jack. He was so knowledgeable, sweet, and friendly. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting. We went on day one of our trip and found some places we are excited to visit again over the next few days. I cannot rave about Jack enough, he was truly incredible.
The food selection was excellent, the portions were generous. We enjoyed our time exploring and learning about the food of New Orleans. Nate was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
