Nola food tour

Nikki did a great job taking us to some of the best restaurants in the garden district. The fried bologna sandwich from turkey and wolf was to die for.

Little Havannah of New Orleans. 🤷‍♀️

Brian was fantastic, knowledgeable, and awesome. Food picks were perfect. Totally different and exciting. Great places that the average tourist would probably wouldn’t know to go to. I would only mention to the people who don’t like mayo, mustard, or sauces to just let him know in advance to get put on the side. I just scraped it off and it still was fantastic!!!!!

Operator response

Hi Debbie, We truly appreciate your kind words! We do our best to accommodate all dietary needs and we're happy you enjoyed the food on our tour!

Fun time!

I had a great experience on the New Orleans Garden District food tour. One of the highlights for me was getting to try foods I probably wouldn’t have ordered on my own—everything felt thoughtfully selected and gave a real taste of the area’s culinary variety. Our tour guide, Brian, really made the experience stand out. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting history about the Garden District in a way that felt engaging and easy to follow, not overwhelming. We even had a brief interruption from a few pugs along the way, which honestly just added to the charm of the day—they were adorable and gave everyone a good laugh. Overall, it was a fun, informative, and delicious way to explore the neighborhood. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans.

Operator response

Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the variety of foods and that Brian helped make the experience both engaging and memorable. Those surprise pug encounters sound like the perfect touch of charm! 😂 We’d love to have you join us again anytime!

5 starts isn’t enough!

Our guide Brian was FABULOUS! Super knowledgeable about the places we were visiting and the food! Food was delicious at every stop! Each spot was vastly different from one another, but also meshed very well. We actually loved one of the places so much we went back the next day to order food to take home with us! I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Operator response

Hi Kelsey, This is what we love to hear! Thank you! Brian is amazing and we are so glad you had such a great time with him. The fact that you went back the next day is the highest compliment ever. Come eat with us again soon!

A new New Orleans experience

The experience is well worth your time. It shows you a different face of New Orleans away from the French Quarter and everything creole and cajun. The food is a variety of new and old and our guide Kaffey was exceptional. She knew the history of NO, the food styles and was fun and engaging.

Operator response

Hi Susan, We totally agree! Instead of strolling through tourist traps, we love showing off the culture and history of NOLA. Where locals eat and little tidbits of knowledge make the tour different from the rest. Thank you so much for sharing!

Fun food in NOLA

Our guide was fun and informative. He kept the tour moving along at an even pace and allowed the group time to get to know each other as we ate ourselves silly!
