Great, well-rounded tour

If you want to learn about NOLA, eat food you wouldn't typically try, get to sample some great local drinks, see historic restaurants that shape the city, and get a little exercise while doing so, this is the tour for you! We had such a blast, met some great people, and ate some really awesome food! Thank you!

Wonderful Time On Our Tour

My wife and I had been looking forward to the tour for quite some time. It did not disappoint. The establishments we toured were all first rate and the food excellent. They might consider making the sample portion sizes a bit larger but that is a minor gripe. The history presented by our tour guide was fascinating. Mary was very personable and obviously enjoys leading the tours. She had a great sense of humor coupled with an in depth knowledge of the city and the restaurants we visited. She was a real gem and we would take another tour with her in a second. The only issue we had, which was not really all that bad, was the number of people in our tour group. Our understanding was that there would be no more than 12 but our group had 16. Not a problem, just made for tight quarters and scrambling for chairs at a couple of sites. We definitely recommend this tour to everyone interested in great food and rich history.

New Orleans Food Tour

It's not just the food! Starting at one of the oldest and most exquisite establishments in the French Quarter (Antoine's), our guide (Sally) was extremely well versed in the history of the establishments we visited and passed by. A few even had secret back rooms loaded with interesting items and exciting stories and rumors about the old and current elite of this bustling town. Fortunately our tour ended up before dark when Boubon Street makes its transformation (read: not for under 21 or the squeamish!). While it is highly unlikely I would repeat this tour it is highly recommended for first time visitors.
