The best of New Orleans culinary diversity
This is a great food tour that celebrates the best of the diversity of the New Orleans culinary scene. Our tour guide, Ty, was knowledgeable and interesting. He not only shared the history of the food we were tasting, but the history of the r city he clearly loves as well. Definitely take this tour!

First and foremost, the...
First and foremost, the food! ❤️ Our tour guide, Mark, curated the most delightful selection of dishes that gave us such a wonderful taste of New Orleans! Every stop was delicious, but what made the experience truly special was Mark himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culinary culture of New Orleans, but went above and beyond by teaching us about the history, traditions, and Southern culture woven into the city’s food. Mark was personable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing his city with others. A delicious little journey through the heart and history of New Orleans 👍🏻👍🏻
Operator response
We're delighted you had such a wonderful time! Mark really is a gem, and truly loves to introduce people not just to the food, but also the culture of New Orleans.

Great Experience!
I’ve been to New Orleans many times. I still learned so much about local food history on this tour. Tour guide Addie was the best and took us to some of the best local restaurants and shops off the beaten path. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

New Orleans is the kind of place where you can always learn more information, especially when it comes to its food! We're happy to hear you had such a great time with your guide, and the restaurants she took you too.

Amazing Food Tour!
My wife and I have done a handful of food tours. This was easily the best food tour we have done! Tylyn was an amazing guide for us. He knew so much history and knowledge of all of the places we went, on all kinds of food, and history of just New Orleans in general. He was very attentive, he gave us great recommendations, and really made this tour experience a memorable one. This is also not your average food tour. Most food tours will give you very little samples at all of your stops. This food tour made sure to actually feed us and gave us excellent portion sizes at every place we went. We started this food tour very hungry, and ended it feeling full. This was an amazing food tour that I cannot recommend enough!
Operator response
We're glad you had such an amazing time with Tylyn! We aim to make sure the food tour is appropriately filling - both for food and for the historical information, so it's wonderful to hear you had such a great experience!
