A must do if you love food and drinks! - I love this tour. This was my second time taking this tour and I brought along some family members with me this time. It’s a great combination of food, cocktails and New Orleans history. Our tour guide Gary was knowledgeable and kept us on a great pace. The food was delicious and the cocktails amazing. The tour is about four hours, but you do get restroom breaks. So don’t worry about that. Definitely a must do when in New Orleans.

Great intro to New Orleans - Family of four adult first-time visitors learned a lot about the city’s culture, food, and history from our guide, Ben. The restaurants were so good we went back to 2 of them and would return to all 4 if we had time.

First timers in NOLA and worth every penny. - Our tour guide Gary was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour such an enjoyable time and really capped off our first time in NOLA in the best way. We enjoyed the drinks and food samples and also the conversation alongside the history points. We will recommend Gary and this tour to all our family and friends planning to visit NOLA.

If you only do one tour, make it this one with Meg! - This tour led by Meg was actually the highlight of our weekend in New Orleans. My husband and I went for our anniversary and we packed in a lot but this tour was such a great sampling of all things New Orleans. It was obvious Meg loves this place and it came through in everything that she shared. Yes, we had wonderful food and drink pairings and clearly she has a lovely relationship with everybody at each of the establishments, and that was obvious but the way she unfolded all the historical facts and stories and her general knowledge of everything was just outstanding. My husband is a history teacher, and he couldn’t get enough of it and was so very, very happy that we booked this. It was exactly the right balance of a little bit of fun and culture and history and walking around and getting a real feel for what New Orleans is like. We highly, highly Recommend this tour. Great value for the money and overall, our favorite four hours there. Make sure you ask for Meg. She really made it the best experience all around.
