French Quarter

Meet your guide in the heart of the French Quarter to embark on your three-hour walking tour of world-class restaurants and foodie venues. Wander the lively streets of the French Quarter and get an insider's look at the kitchens often seen on food shows and featured in cookbooks. Let your guide know the restaurants you're interested in checking out or perhaps ask your guide to recommend a personal favorite. Indulge in food tastings during your tour. You may have a classic gumbo as a seafood treasure, boudin beignets and other authentic nibbles. Popular New Orleans' cocktails are available for purchase like the distinctive Pimms Cup with a ' twist. Pimms originated in England, but the Pimms Cup cocktail was dreamed up in New Orleans. Your tastings are all included in the price of your tour and many feel these tastings add up to a meal's worth of food. There's a moderate amount of walking involved as you move from one exceptional restaurant to the next, so it's easy to work off the calories!

    Very nice experience. We tried a lot of great foods but there was a lot more sitting in restaurants than exploring like we have had on other past food walking tours.

  • Delicious and Delightful

    Lauren is an excellent tour guide. She ensured all the participants were ready, their needs constantly met and all were comfortable with both each other and the offerings. She not only provided a historical perspective of the French Quarter but provided insight into the people, food and development of Louisiana, along with the multiple cuisines we experienced, which were all delicious. I highly recommend the food tour, as it helped me determine my eating preferences for the rest of my trip and exposed me to tastes I would never have tried/tasted on my own.

  • Good food tour

    Lots of walking. It was pretty hot, but we stopped often for our tastings, so it wasn’t that bad. Our group had about 16 people, I think a smaller group would have worked out better. All in all a fun tour with delicious food! Suzy was a great tour guide!
