To say that we were impressed with the tour is an understatement. Our tour guide, Kelly, did a fantastic job of getting us out of the usual touristy spots to try a very wide variety of creole foods (and a few drinks!). Kelly's New Orleans knowledge, music-royalty lineage, and friends in the neighborhood restaurants really made this experience unique. She introduced us to new foods and showed us the strong cultural ties in the communities we visited. A+ job, Kelly!

Had the best time with Kelly on our tour. Her life is amazing and gives great insight into the traditions and history of New Orleans. Every single food we had was incredible - frozen Irish coffee, red beans and rice, muffaletta, po'boy, local chips, fried chicken, mac n cheese, gator balls, cocktails. We have taken many Culinary Backstreets tours and they never disappoint. You will not regret spending your day eating and exploring through this amazing city!

Kelly is a wonderful tour guide. Her deep knowledge of the history, culture and food of New Orleans is impressive. She made everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend her tour.

We did this tour with Kelly and had the absolute best time! She was born and raised in the Treme neighborhood and knows everything and everyone and gave us a fantastic food and history lesson. Highly recommend!!

PPPSSSSS

My wife, two friends and I joined a few others to follow the great and wonderful Kelly to her hand-picked food stands, restaurants, booze joints and markets. What a day brothers and sisters! I could tell you lots about the rich food experiences Kelly curated for us and her tales about her storied family and rich heritage. Instead I'll just say that we were all great friends by the end of the tour because we got to spend the day with the coolest person in New Orleans - the great and wonderful KELLEEEE!

We love culinary backstreets tours and this one was no exception. James was a fantastic guide. He is so knowledgable about New Orleans and clearly loves the city. He really cared about making sure we had a good experience and we felt it was about as an “authentic” view into New Orleans food and culture that we could have possibly had in an afternoon. I highly recommend the tour and especially James who is first rate!

We loved the tour. Kelly was a fount of NOLA knowledge and has fun family stories to tell as well. Great to have a local guide show you around the neighborhood.

We visited truly off the beaten track places for delicious Gumbo, praline filled beignets, fun cultural insights and so much more. This was a delicious and fantastic 4 & 1/2 hour walking tour. James is a chef who shared restaurant & cultural insights freely. He was terrific! Husband & I had a great time.

Kelly was a superb tour guide. The combination of her roots, her family, her knowledge of the history, her affection for food, her connection to Mardi Gras and (+++) her connection to one of the key players in the establishment of NOLA as an in tegral part of rock-n-roll history,... oh my, she has the stories. And, she's a talker,... wind her up and she goes all day. We had a blast!!! Strongly recommend it.

Kelly was charming, genuine and informative. We saw a side of New Orleans that we never would have otherwise seen. Not only did we sample classic NOLA foods like beignets, gumbo, alligator, fish fry and red beans and rice in real local settings, but Kelly also shared with us her own personal understanding and point of view related to the music and culture of the area. So fun, even with the cloudburst blowing through at one point. We recommend this tour and especially Kelly!
