Best walking food tour EVER! - Our guide Lisa was great! She was very personable and informative. She laid everything out for us from the beginning so that we knew what to expect. I highly recommend her. The portions at each location was sufficient in that it was just the right amount. Any more and we would have been too full. Great selection. We started off with grilled oysters, best grilled oysters EVER! We got to also sample a cup of gumbo, had pralines, bacon brittle, crawfish bread and muffaletta. You won’t leave hungry.

Amazing - Amazing experience! Lisa was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about this culinary experience and the city. Would recommend as a must do first experience in New Orleans. It allowed us the opportunity to discover where we would like to eat for our stay. Oysters and gumbo were the big winners!

Love that they cater for dietary requirements - makes this an activity that is possible for the whole group to enjoy! - The first thing I do in any new city is find a food tour. It’s how I relate to the culture and personality of a region. We chose the tour for the area it explored (although the menu for the other tour offered also looked very tasty) and because this was the only company I could find that offered to accomodate dietaries. One of our party is coeliac and so needs gluten free options. Our guide Lisa did a great job, not only of catering to their needs but also provided a wonderful insight into the history of the food, the city and the restaurants we visited (she also gave us several tips for the rest of our visit that came in very handy!! Thanks Lisa!!) Oh - and the food was great - the crayfish bread was my fav :)

Food tour - Not much food for a food tour. The guide was very good. The group size was good at 11 folks. We just wish there would have been a bit more of substance to the meal.

Took my money even though I rescheduled. No response. No feedback. - I have no story. I did not get to experience the food tour. I have tried to reschedule with the company and also through viator- even though I didn’t reschedule more than 72 hours in advance. The company sent me to viator. I have already been to the website, rescheduled, and hit save. There was no email or confirmation. There is no one to communicate with. I have emailed the company twice. The first time- no response. The second time is when they sent me to viator- even though I had already been and was experiencing no feedback. It is so very unorganized, and I am out $200 and no experience. Do not book. There is no way to clear up any issues. I have been to food tours in both pensacola and sarasota. It was easy to communicate- even though I booked through viator in Sarasota. I hope you enjoy spending my money even though I did not partake in your services while doing everything right. It’s not fun in this economy to lose out on money.
