If you do one thing in the city of New Orleans, let it be this tour. Marc was knowledgable, engaging, and extremely welcoming on my family's trip to New Orleans. Having never been to the area, he provided us with expert level knowledge on the culinary scene as a insider in the restaurant business. This was truly a unique experience that I do not believe we could have created for ourselves had we simply dined-in at the restaurants and locations on this tour. Marc constantly exceeded expectations in restaurant and dish selection, and he made sure that we got all that New Orleans had to offer. When Marc walked into a restaurant with our party, the entire wait staff knew his name, and welcomed us with open arms. He was also incredibly accommodating to my family's preferences and past experiences in New Orleans thus far, and he even gave us additional recommendations for activities and dining in the area! This was by and far the highlight of our trip, and I could not recommend Marc and this specific tour enough. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement.

Mark, our tour guide, was excellent. Knowledgeable, informative and very friendly. His knowledge of the restaurants, food and drinks that were native to NOLA was exemplary. His pointers for the rest of our trip were very helpful.

Marc is knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share what and who he knows. We had a delightful progressive dinner through the French Quarter. We had cocktails at several iconic establishments, as well as delicious tastings. One stop was on a balcony overlooking Jackson Square, another in a lovely courtyard. He also not only gave us tips on where else to go for the rest of our trip but also made us a reservation for a Sunday jazz brunch, when we couldn't get in anywhere else. Truly a memorable experience, well worth the money.

We had an absolutely amazing time touring New Orleans with Mark. We saw and got to experience so many places and features we would never have found on our own. The food and drinks were amazing. Mark really listened to us and customized our tour specifically for us. We highly, highly recommend this tour.
