Additional Information

While most are versed in Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, many haven’t explored Magazine Street, the backdrop of our tour that boasts a vibrant past centered around food, art, culture, and nightlife. Our journey covers 4 distinctive shops where we will sample donuts and beignets. Kicking off with conventional beignets coated in powdered sugar and paired with a coffee, we will delve into the neighborhood’s robust history and its significant role in New Orleans. On our second detour, we’ll savor handcrafted donuts from a leading donut hub in the city. A brief walk later, we’ll be sampling unique beignets topped and sauced in a manner that you’ve never encountered before. We conclude our tour with a surprise at our final stop, curating a foodie expedition that’s both relaxing and enticing.

We provide abundant details about the itinerary, the city, the checkpoints, and more. Do give it a look!

Great tour! Food, history & fun! - Our family loves underground donut tours! We first took one in Chicago 5 years ago and now look for one in every new city we visit. New Orleans did not disappoint! The donuts/beignets were amazing, Tommy, our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging and funny. Perfect way to see Magazine Street and some of the New Orleans area outside of the French Quarter. If you are ever visiting a city and they have an Underground Donut Tour, take it! You won’t walk away hungry or disappointed!

Great tour - Bobbie was a great guide. We loved the variety. It was nice to see a neighborhood other than the French quarter and nice to hear some history of the area.

Sweet Tour - Fun tour. We got to taste yummy beignets and a tour of the garden district. The tour guides worked well together and had a lot of knowledge of the area and seemingly great relationships with the shops visited. My group was late so we had to meet them at the 2nd stop, I just knew we had missed out on the treat at the first stop and to our surprise they pulled out the yummiest beignets for us to try from shop 1! That was so thoughtful of them and appreciated by us. It’s family friendly and the walk isn’t terrible. We did this tour with a family with young kids and teenagers.

Great food, great history! - We had a blast on our donut and beignet tour! I had 10 high schoolers, and 5 adults and we all had a great time. I was expecting to eat some great food (which we did!), but what we also got was a ton of history and great local tips. This was such a great way to kick off our New Orleans adventure. I highly recommend Bobbie and Thomas.

Doesn’t disappoint! Good food and great history! - Loved trying the different beignets, along with the history behind the Garden District. Thomas was a wealth of knowledge and we appreciate all the information he shared! What was great about this tour was there wasn’t a ton of walking. They were super accommodating and even helped us find some great shops and art galleries. Highly recommend taking this tour!
