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!

The food walking tour was exactly what we were looking for. We had an outstanding host, Laurent, who took us to several restaurants and shops to sample the various dishes of New Orleans. Laurent was a former chef in town so we peppered him with lots of questions. He was very knowledgeable and excited to talk about all things New Orleans. We got to sample all the staples of New Orleans -- Jambalaya, Gumbo, Oysters, Prawlines, Gator Bites, Po Boys and Muffaletta sandwiches. At each restaurant, we would be seated with glasses of water inside (A/C) and get to have a sample of each item. You get the chance to purchase alcohol on your own if you like at each location. We were absolutely stuffed in the end. This is exactly what I was hoping to do -- get a chance to try a bunch of local favorites without having to dine out at a bunch of different places over several days. Laurent was fantastic and I highly recommend this tour.

Kristi was the best! Not only did we get to sample amazing food, but learned so much about the city. Kristiā€™s passion for local flavor was evident in her suggestions for where to eat throughout our stay and she was extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this as an activity for the beginning of your stay in NOLA.

Susan, the hostess, was very accommodating! I donā€™t eat pork (funny since so many restaurants have pork in their entrees) but Susan made sure to make me feel included by asking for a vegetarian option or seafood option. I would say to be prepared to walk and ask questions because this tour was both engaging and fulfilling.
