Itinerary

  • 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!

Food tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great assortment of food and Suzanne gave a lot of history on the city and the types of food we ate - she also had a lot of good recommendations o

Wonderful food walking tour of the French Quarter!

Published on Feb, 2025

Jack was an amazing tour guide. He flawlessly wove in historical narratives about New Orleans while explaining the origins of the different foods we sampled. He put our group at ease so that we easily felt comfortable chatting with each other during our walk. The five food stops were each unique and the food choices offered excellent overview of New Orleans cuisine. The food was also delicious! Everyone in my family loved the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to friends!

Fabulous Food Walking Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Fabulous tour! Our tour guide, Nate, was great. He knew New Orleans history and food. We went to several restaurants and learned the history of some of NOLA’s favorite dishes. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide.

YES to all the food and history

Published on Jan, 2025

A must for the best of New Orleans food staples and history! Our tour guide Nate was very knowledgeable and gave us all the best information while eating some amazing food. I took this tour 3 years ago and it was just as awesome today and it was 3 years ago and I got a different variation of food this time around. Would definitely recommend to get to know the city and the food!

Excellent tour for the money!

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour guide, Susan, was perfection. She married food, culture, and architecture into one perfect tour. Not only did we have some of the cities best offerings, we enjoyed the best of the best. I didn’t expect to get as full as I did either so you’d better come hungry. Her stories of churches, directions, and landmarks were also outstanding and deepened my appreciation for the city she loves.
