What To Expect

French Market

Here we will try local favorites! This is where my great great great grandpa got his first job after immigrating from France!

Faubourg Marigny

To work up an appetite after trying local dishes at the French market we cross over into the Faubourg Marigny to check out Frenchmen Street that is known for its local live music.

Jackson Square

We will walk from the Mississippi river to Jackson Square where we will be able to see the St Louis Basilica, Presbytere, Cabildo and Cafe du Monde, this is the place del' Arms of New Orleans.

Frenchmen Street

Here we often end our tour with one of my favorite drinks, it's a daiquiri with an Irish twist! Frenchmen Street is where many local musicians play and where you can find many local residents in the evening hours dancing and enjoying live jazz, soul, funk, zydeco and my favorite the brass bands out on the street.

Leanne was great with the history and heritage of the city. Her passion for New Orleans was evident from the beginning. I would love to give 5 stars but cannot because I feel like the tour that was advertised was not the one that we received. The eating part was 100%..... the tour destinations that are listed with viator are NOT what we did. We did not go to St Roch cemetery or market. We had a first time visitor that really wanted to visit both of these and this is the reason that we picked this tour. We have friends that live near St Roch and we know that it is open.

I'm glad you enjoyed the food and I am sorry we didn't visit St. Roch, most of the food vendors are no longer in business because of Covid-19 but I'm hoping the market will be a great place to try New Orleans dishes in the future.

We had a wonderful time with Leanne. She is fun and energetic and offered several times to help with recommendations since it was our first time visiting. All the food was awesome and she gave us a great introduction to the neighborhoods. Praline cream filled beignets. Yum. It looks like we will be coming back next year to spend more time in the areas she took us to. I would highly recommend Leanne and will look at her other tours for next time. Ivy Edmonds-Hess
