A must book - come hungry! - The perfect tour with amazing food with a lot of variety and all the history you could ask for! 10/10 recommend!! Our tour guide was the best, Lyndel used to teach here in Nola and is one of the only people I would want to show me around. We recommend taking this tour early in your trip! Lyndel also gives great recommendations for all things jazz and other amazing restaurants in the city.

Good tour but not what was expecting. - Food was great! 5 stops , I think 1 more could of been done maybe beignets . I personally would of preferred less general history and more about food and food history and more recommendations for food afterwards perhaps I picked the wrong tour but I expected more about food with some history but rather it was history with food.
