New Orleans Weekend Garden District Food & History Tour

New Orleans Weekend Garden District Food & History Tour

Overview

Home to historic mansions, hauntingly beautiful cemeteries and giant oak trees, this district is the romance of New Orleans. During walks between stops, hear about culture, traditions, architecture and have history fun! (PLEASE NOTE: currently, the cemetery is closed for repairs- we'll still be able to see into the cemetery and discuss the history. I supplement the walking tour to see some of the mansions and historic homes the Garden District is known for). Then it's on to the food at 3 stops- a neighborhood favorite for a taste of our Italian-Creole roots, hear Cajun history through sausage and finish with the Creole history of chicory over cafe au lait and filled beignets! All curated food, cocktails/beer, taxes & tip are included in your ticket so you can sit back and relax! Will accommodate allergies/dietary restrictions if told in advance. Menu & food stops are subject to availability.
Other things to note: Tour is all weather, wear comfy walking shoes & bring a face mask.

The Garden District food tour with Michelle from Bon Moment was very informative and enjoyable. Michelle not only knew lots about the food, she also passed on very interesting information on the local cemetery and many restaurants in New Orleans. We had various foods at several restaurants that showcased the varied flavors of New Orleans. Our group was 6 people- which was really a perfect size. The amount of walking wasn't excessive- and it was an easy route. I went on the tour with 3 friends and we all enjoyed the tour.

Michelle was personable and knowledgeable. She’s a local who knows the food scene. It was more than a tasting. We visited 3 places and had a great selection of local fare.

my two sisters and 11 year old daughter had a girls weekend in New Orleans and wanted to do something we had never done before in the area. I contacted Michelle and she was very clear and informative while we made plans. She gave options of her tours and provided info of other events we may be interested in in the area as wells We had a tour of the Garden District and it was so nice! We started with a Tour of the cemetery and walked a few blocks to Magazine Street. There we made 3 stops and had amazing food and drinks! Fun for us and my daughter! I would definitely recommend Michelle with Bob Moment!
