This food tour delivers exactly what New Orleans visitors crave: exceptional local cuisine paired with rich historical context. The guides are the real standout here, with Lauren, Jack, Russell, Nate, and Susan earning enthusiastic praise for their deep knowledge and engaging personalities. Lauren particularly impresses with her chef background, bringing insider perspective on local cooking traditions alongside neighborhood history. Jack gets multiple shout-outs for his fun, informative storytelling style, while Russell's rapport with both guests and restaurant staff creates a welcoming atmosphere at every stop. The tours hit all the classic Creole and Cajun staples you'd hope for: pralines, muffalettas, alligator sausage, gumbo, po-boys, and oysters. Most guests leave completely stuffed after visiting seven different spots over three hours of walking through the French Quarter. The consistent five-star ratings reflect genuinely satisfied travelers who appreciated both the food quality and the entertainment value. One reviewer mentioned the food was "just okay" by their standards but still recommended the tour, which speaks to how much the guides and historical insights elevate the experience. For families or small groups looking to dive into authentic NOLA food culture while learning the stories behind the dishes, this appears to be a solid choice. Just come hungry and ready to walk.
Lauren was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about all of the history ✅ the origins of the food ✅ and took the time to share lots of local hidden gems ✅. The tour overall was evenly paced and gave us taste of the most popular bites in New Orleans. It rained pretty hard at the beginning of the tour but Lauren kept us in walk ways that were covered for the most part so we didn’t really get very wet. 10/10 I highly recommend this tour, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to explore the city.
