An amazing way to start our trip!

I really believe that the best way to get to know a city’s heart, history, and culture is through its food. This was the first tour we took when we arrived in New Orleans. Nate was our tour guide, and we had an absolutely FABULOUS time. We learned all about the food and history of New Orleans, while getting to try so many tasty bites! Nate did a great job exposing us to what makes this city and its people so special. He was funny, informative, and engaging—a great ambassador to his city! We’d recommend this tour to everyone!

Food, Culture, and Fellowship

Great way to get a taste of all the New Orleans iconic foods! Our guide, Milton, was great. The tour wasn’t too fast-paced. We got ample time at each stop. We left happy, full, and more knowledgeable about New Orleans food and culture!

A Sampling of New Orleans Fare

Kristi was a wealth of information and was such a delight! Our small plates at each destination were varied and delish… covering a range of New Orleans fare. Worth a few dollars more to opt for a smaller group…highly recommend!
