Taste of New Orleans - A taste of authentic Louisiana food. Ben our guide was great.. we experienced great food like gumbo, , muffellata sandwich, jambalayas, plantains and chicharrones... not to mention all the wonderful cocktails... and all along the way we learned the history about the origins of our tasting and about the various cultural influences. Plenty of food and drinks, and easy walking pace between stops. No breakfast needed before this tour, you won't be disappointed.

Highlight of Our Trip - The absolute HIGHLIGHT of our trip. Ben was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Definitely deserves a raise lol food and cocktails were delicious! Great way to learn all about NOLA, and taste all the things they’re known for. Book this for the first day of your trip, I feel like it set us up for an appreciation for the town the rest of the time we were there.

Great experience in New Orleans - It was a great experience. We got to experience the food and cocktails of New Orleans that we otherwise wouldn’t have tried. We learned history and saw a number of establishments. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. We made new friends since it was such a small group, only seven of us.
