Fun food tour!
Published on Jan, 2025
Chip, our guide, was personable, fun and very knowledgable about the unique food, history and culture of New Orleans. Along the way we sampled grilled alligator meat, local French bread, gumbo, po boy sandwiches and pralines. Was a fun way to spend a couple of hours in the French Quarter. Highly recommend! Doug C.

Fun tour with Chip, tried some NO LA food we would not have found or tried on our own.
Gumbo and pi boys were great
This was the best thing we did today!
Published on Jan, 2025
We did a private food adventure today. Simon was knowledgeable, friendly and easy going. Totally worth every penny! Book this tour! 10/10 would do this (and any other tour with Simon as a guide) anytime!
Our guide was great and the whole experience was memorable.

Our guide was fantastic. A pleasure to spend the morning with. Very professional and a great conversationalist. We ran into an unexpected glitch at one of the eating establishments - and she pivoted quickly to find a replacement, and it was seamless.
Great experience, delicious food!
