Fun tour!
We loved this tour. We heard many interesting stories about the French quarter and garden district. I feel like we saw a LOT more of the city than if we just walked. We stopped after the cemetery for a restroom break and a quick coffee. Our group was mostly couples and Jeffrey was nice and upbeat. You will enjoy it.

A Wonderful French Quarter Food Tour to Remember
Wow! What a great overall experience with Chip, our tour guide! A fun, very delicious, and educational tour within the French Quarter. We highly recommend this Food Adventure tour and if you are brand new to New Orleans and, want an authentic taste of NOLA, this is a must!

Excellent Tour Greet Value
A great tour to get a taste of New Orleans. Sampled multiple dishes synonymous with the city including: beignets, muffaletta, gumbo, jambalaya, boudin balls, and PRA-leens 😅. Lauren walked us through a short tour of the heart of the French Quarter giving bits of interesting NOLA history.
