Great company! Great tour! Was just long enough to enjoy some history and good New Orleans food. (started out rainy but soon after we started the sun came out) Would recommend to locals as well as out of towners. Bon appetite!

The best tour you could ask for. Michelle came highly recommended by other tour guides and I’m glad we jumped on the experience. Not only was she informative and friendly, she assisted our gluten free friend in food she could eat and enjoy. She put our needs first. She was super friendly and even lent us her umbrellas when it rained. Highly recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans looking to experience food, culture and history.

Robert_G

Short walking tour of garden district. Stopped at three local eating establishments to taste the local cuisine. Michelle did a wonderful job explaining the area and history. The restaurants she picked gave us a sampling of the cuisine of the area. Would recommend to all groups.

Our tour guide Michelle was excellent. Loved her style of sharing the history of the Garden District. The food stops (jambalaya, beans & rice, eggplant Napoleon, Beignets, and PoBoys) absolutely delicious and filling.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. They accommodate large groups; we had a Bachelorette party of 23. The food stops were very good. We were able to sample a variety of local food and beverages; no one went away hungry. I would highly recommend.

Michelle is an expert all things NOLA and she went out of her way to make sure that we had all our bases covered food wise. She has taste and it shows. Of the four food tours I’ve done in different cities, this one was by far the most interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend scheduling this for the beginning of your trip so that you can squeeze as many recommendations out of Michelle as you can. The food was delicious but I’ll leave it at that so that you can be surprised. Thank you so much!
