Susan was an excellent guide! Not only did we eat great food but learned plenty about the history of food and New Orleans.

Excellent! Best 3 hrs spent tasting all kinds of food, walking through New Orleans, a bit of history about the neighborhoods and the foods, and the cultures! Highly reccommend this tour! Jack was awesome!

Fantastic tour! We have been on many food tours and this one was right at the top of our list as a favorite. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Nate, was funny and very knowledgeable about the foods and history of the areas we visited on the tour.

This was my second time doing this tour. It was the highlight of a solo travel trip and I wanted to show my family when we were in town together. Our tour guide Jack was great! He was very friendly and knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information about the history of the French Quarter and of the food, and gave some great recommendations. All of the food was delicious and was the perfect way to get tastes of the quintessential New Orleans cuisine. Each stop had a generous portion of the food and we all left very full. Great tour!

We had a great tour around the FQ with Jack. His knowledge about the history and the food was on point. We will definitely do this again with more family.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Food was perfect, Jack (Zander) was a perfect guide. We learned tons about the city. This was our first tour of our trip here and I couldn't recommend anything better to start with. Do it!

We greatly enjoyed our tour with Milton! It was very informative and interesting. The Christmas parade was happening during our tour and we were able to see some of that in between tastings. A great day!

I have been to NOLA before but have never done a food tour. I took my spouse to NOLA and wanted to give this tour a try. It was worth it! Nate was funny, personable, and knowledgeable. Nate brought us to six different places where we tried anything from Pickle Bloody Mary’s (my favorite), jambalaya, gumbo, pralines cookies and dots, etc. not only did he show us the food culture, he taught us about the history as well. I actually canceled a history tour because I felt we got so much information from this tour alone. He was amazing. The tour was great. I would do it again!

This is a MUST! Our guide (Jack) was phenomenal! We walked between multiple restaurants (all great places), and got the historical background for each individual "tasting". Additionally, Jack gave stories about New Orleans and also gave recommendations and help for each individual on the tour, based on each individuals interest and how long they were staying
