Fun tour! Good selection of food and cocktails. Craig was our guide and he was great! He is very informative and engaging about this history of NOLA and, of course, the food and drink.

Great experience

Cheryl_M, Apr 2024

Great tour! It was our second time taking this tour and Jack was great again! The food was delicious and plentiful! We tried to pace ourselves and were still stuffed at the end of the tour. The new stops and new information and stories share by Jack made it a different experience from last time. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended

We had a great time. It was nice to tour the upper level of Napoleon House. The drinks and food were great and getting caught up I a street parade was memorable. What a fun time!

Great experience!

The gumbo was the best! Our tour guide, Nate was very knowledgeable. This tour gave us an opportunity to try things throughout New Orleans that we wouldn’t have thought about trying ourselves. Highly recommend.

Legit n fun

Great drink choices!! Enough food for everyone on the group tour. Awesome guide tour also. Can’t go wrong with this one.

Quick and Tasty

LeeAnna_B, Mar 2024

Highly enjoyed the food tastings. It did feel a bit rushed and would have loved to learn history while eating, but the guide respected the restaurants other participants. The guide dropped us off at the last restaurant, passed out the cookies and bubbles...and left us. Despite the little things, the highlight was meeting new people on this tour!

Trip Highlight

Amy_G, Mar 2024

Tour guide was super knowledgeable and every restaurant we went to would have never ended up on our radar otherwise. Such an awesome experience.

Ask for Laurent

Crystal_D, Mar 2024

Laurent was an absolute gem. We were in New Orleans to celebrate my husband's 50th Biirthday. The way he incorporated culturally appropriate information into this wonderful tour warmed our heart.

Less than acceptable

Adair_B, Mar 2024

The tour around the French quarter was the best. Our guide was knowledgeable of the area and history. The food and drink was good except the last stop should have been freshly made with dessert drink.

Awful

Ronald_K, Mar 2024

Buildings and restaurants was the highlight. Food was not good and not much of it. Waste of money…..

Just what we wanted!

Cambria_K, Mar 2024

This was an exceptionally fun and informative tour. Our guide, Laurent, has extensive experience in the restaurant industry and really brought the French Quarter alive for the group. It was a small group, as promised, with only 5 guests on this tour making it the intimate and personalized experience we wanted. I have been on another food tour in NOLA and preferred this tour due to the restaurant, food, and drink choices (great mix of classic NOLA fare and some true foodie new experiences). Laurent was attentive, knowledgeable, and was clearly well-liked and respected at every stop. Highly recommend. Wish we could give 6 stars!!! Pro tip: pace yourself if you’re a lightweight, since no one skimped on the drinks and we actually had more food than we could eat so go ahead and plan this as your meal.

A must do tour
