What To Expect

French Quarter

Meet your guide in the heart of the French Quarter to embark on your three-hour walking tour of world-class restaurants and foodie venues. Wander the lively streets of the French Quarter and get an insider's look at the kitchens often seen on food shows and featured in cookbooks. Let your guide know the restaurants you're interested in checking out or perhaps ask your guide to recommend a personal favorite. Indulge in food tastings during your tour. You may have a classic gumbo as a seafood treasure, boudin beignets and other authentic nibbles. Popular New Orleans' cocktails are available for purchase like the distinctive Pimms Cup with a ' twist. Pimms originated in England, but the Pimms Cup cocktail was dreamed up in New Orleans. Your tastings are all included in the price of your tour and many feel these tastings add up to a meal's worth of food. There's a moderate amount of walking involved as you move from one exceptional restaurant to the next, so it's easy to work off the calories!

My sister and I did this tour during our first day in NOLA. I had not been in the city for 40 years and she was there for the first time, and we were looking for an experience to orient us to the city on our first day. The small group food tour was perfect for the start of our four day stay and time in NOLA! Our small group included 13 people including adults and teens and we met in the French Quarter with our tour guide Kristie who was most excellent. We walked throughout the city and learned the history of both Creole and Cajun cuisine and with stops along the way to enjoy both savory and sweet items. We sampled beignets, muffalettas, shrimp po boy, pralines, gumbo and more. We visited the French market and Jackson Square during our walking tour. This tour gave us a great information for the rest of our time in NOLA. You will do a lot of walking; we covered 5 miles during this including our walk down to the French quarter and back to our hotel so be sure to wear good shoes and be aware of the uneven pavement in the city you may encounter.

The tour was excellent! Russell was an awesome guide. He knew so much about the food and history of the French Quarter! The food stops were also top notch. Some quick bites, some sit down. It was really a great way to see the area and sample many of the food that the area is known for. We took the 11:30 tour and it was plenty of food to consider it a walking lunch! Highly recommend!
