It's a long walk lol but overall the food is great the drinks are delicious. Would definitely recommend.
Combining the history of Louisiana cuisine and New Orleans-style cocktails, this event is a feast for the senses! Along with your guide you will visit up 6 locations: award-winning seafood restaurants, James Beard-nominated craft cocktail lounges, Creole restaurants, artisanal candy stores and more. Once inside you’ll sample up to 6 or more different dishes that represent the modern expressions of our culinary heritage: classic dishes like gumbo, and muffulettas, but also new interpretations like sweet fried plantains! (Vegetarian options available too!) We'll also enjoy 4 full-sized cocktails like the refreshing Pimm's Cup, the rum-heavy Hurricane, the classic Daiquiri and more! This 4 hour gastronomic odyssey is our way of showing you where we like to go now, and what we like to eat and drink once we're there. With so many dining and drinking options in New Orleans, why not try up to 6 different places in one fell swoop?! *All venues subject to change based on availability.

Excellent experience with friends in a fabulous city!! The guide was fantastic and the hurricane that started the tour was the best, by far, that we've ever enjoyed! Legit 5 star fun.

Ben was an amazing guide, his enthusiasm, knowledge, and ability to engage the group made this an excellent experience. The food tastings and drinks were outstanding and we felt like honored guests at each restaurant location.

This tour led by Meg was actually the highlight of our weekend in New Orleans. My husband and I went for our anniversary and we packed in a lot but this tour was such a great sampling of all things New Orleans. It was obvious Meg loves this place and it came through in everything that she shared. Yes, we had wonderful food and drink pairings and clearly she has a lovely relationship with everybody at each of the establishments, and that was obvious but the way she unfolded all the historical facts and stories and her general knowledge of everything was just outstanding. My husband is a history teacher, and he couldn’t get enough of it and was so very, very happy that we booked this. It was exactly the right balance of a little bit of fun and culture and history and walking around and getting a real feel for what New Orleans is like. We highly, highly Recommend this tour. Great value for the money and overall, our favorite four hours there. Make sure you ask for Meg. She really made it the best experience all around.
