The "Taste of Nawlins" walking tour was absolutely AMAZING! Raffle was our tour guide and he is definitely a tour guide I will never forget. The pick up spot was easy to get to and be picked up from via UBER. Raffle sent a text out hours before the tour introducing himself and confirming our pick up spot and time. Raffle was very personable and had us laughing from start to finish. He grew up in New Orleans and was very knowledgeable about the area and the preparation of different cuisine in the area. He gave us a mixture of the city history, his family history, and the restaurants we visited. We visited 3 different restaurants. Raffle was known by numerous restaurant workers and owners as we walked through the French Quarters. We taste tested red beans and rice, etouffee, jambalaya, etc. with Raffle sharing recipes that locals use to get particular flavors and the history of how the foods came to be. After the tour he escorted us back to the area of the starting point and gave directions for different street we could use to be picked up or different places we could go to for dessert. This tour was even better than what I was hoping for and Raffle's engaging personality was the defining line. All the history of his city, family, and restaurants connected perfectly leading to an authentic food experience with an excellent local host.
