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!

This tour was SO much fun! Every stop was a new flavor and a new lesson on the amazing history and culture that revolves around the food of this city. The dishes ranged in culture variety from Irish, to Cajun, to Creole, and more. I enjoyed every single food that was offered but I also enjoy spicy! My mother is a little more sensitive to spice and had to pass on a few of the options, so if you are someone that really doesn’t like spicy foods, this is your heads up. 🙂 Our tour guide was Susan and she was such a delight! She’s knowledgeable about the history, is clearly in love with the city, and had ENDLESS recommendations for foods, drinks, and other fun things to do and see in New Orleans. I wish I lived locally so I could become friends with her. She was so cool!! During this tour, I distinctly remember saying to my husband “yesterday I had fun, but today, I am having SO much fun!”.
