Great host, great food, great experience! - Our tour guide Kaffey was AMAZING! She took great care of us during the tour and she also have great history knowledge of the area. The food we had was DELICIOUS and we would never had a chance to try out with just googling ourselves without this experience. She also provided some great recommendation that we are excited to try afterword. Some of the places we will visit again for another bite before the end of our trip down here.

Just love Creole Food - Had a great experience on the food tour with Chip, he was so friendly and knowledge about New Orleans, the area, the food, he was such an interesting Guy. Loved all the food, so much so that now I'm back in the UK I am arranging a 'Creole'evening for my family where I'm going to cook most of the food we ate on the tour. Really recommend this tour.

Could not have been better! - Kaffey made a weekend with friends even more special. She was personable, funny, and engaging. The stops on the food tour were excellent, and the only thing that made it better was her knowledge of the local cuisine and history. We highly recommend this tour and recommend Kaffey as your guide.

Delicious Food & History Tour - This was such a nice way to explore the French Quarter. Our guide, Neil, was friendly, outgoing, and a wealth of knowledge. He gave us a bit of a history lesson with every establishment we visited and taught us about some culture with every dish we tried. He even shared some facts on our walks to the next destination. His recommendations were excellent and he took into consideration food aversions and allergies. If youre looking for an easy way to tour the foods of New Orleans, dont hesitate to book!

Amazing tour - Amazing. I rarely book tours since I’ve had a few bad experiences in the fast, but I really wanted to learn more about New Orleans. To make it simple, I am extremely happy with the tour! André (I hope I spell it right) was amazing, he was really passionate about the city and the food. He shared his love for both which made this tour a very good experience! I highly recommend it.
