It was a very nice tour. Meg did an awesome job sharing the history of Nola with us. And we really enjoyed the food.

Great experience for your trip to Nola!

Beth was absolutely incredible! She was engaging, knowledgeable, and hilarious. She explained the history of buildings we were passing on our tour, the history of how New Orleans came to have their iconic food culture, and so many other anecdotes about this rich city! The food was all wonderful, we even made our way back to one of the spots (Nola Poboys) to try some more of their menu. Don’t skip out on this tour when you’re in the city. Thanks again, Beth!

Doctor Gumbo Tours a must do!

What a great experience. Our guide, Dylan was the best, he explained the history of New Orleans as well as the origin of many of the delicious dishes we were served. The sites he chose were unique and the food was so good. We did not feel rushed at the establishments we visited and had time to get to know the other guests in our group. It was well worth the price of admission.

Good sample of local eats

This was a good way to get a brief history and sample the local food of New Orleans. We went back to a couple of the restaurants that we sampled because we were pleased with the food. The guide was great. She provided some good recommendations on where to get specific entrees we’re looking for and we went back to that places multiple times. I would recommend doing this tour!
