Fantastic Food Tour! - Fantastic tour! Highly recommend this for anyone visiting New Orleans. Our guide Chip was incredibly knowledgeable about everything New Orleans and took us to great food spots with lots of history. Highlights were the crayfish beignets, gumbo, red beans and rice and po boys. Also got lots of fascinating history of the city and it's culinary history. Loved this tour!

The food and the information was exceptional - We had a great time, we had less than ideal weather, but our tour guide Kaffey was great. She exposed us to foods that we had never had before, and explained the history behind that food. A great way to try the foods of NOLA.

A MUST DO TOUR!!! - Neil and the food were fabulous...do not miss this tour if in NOLA. First we were extremely grateful that the tour was not canceled since there were only 4 of us! Neil provided a never ending narrative of history of NOLA, food and entertainers on the streets. He has encyclopedic knowledge in all areas of interest. The food provided was excellent, varied, appropriate for the locale and the best we had anywhere during our visit. So Neil actually introduced us to new eateries for beneigets, gumbo, jambalaya, mufeletta and alligator bites that far exceeded places we had been to on a prior visit and that will definitely be on our list for a future visit.

It was ok. - Tour guide took us to several different places, trying numerous foods, depending on your tastes, might have been a better tour, but not for me. Guide seemed to lack a bit of enthusiasm and charisma. Might just have been my thoughts on the foods.
