On our Big Easy Food Tour: New Orleans, you'll enjoy a variety of local dishes.
New Orleans is all about food! Name any top chef and chances are they're from here, trained here or own a restaurant here. The chefs, along with traditional foodways here, influence food trends on a global scale. Our tour is a window into the heart of the French Quarter dining scene. You will sample dishes from the Grand Dames of the restaurant world, while getting the backstory from local experts. Learn how these icons have flourished for so long. What made the cuisine the way it is? Who are the families and chefs that keep the culinary standard classic and relevant? What is the difference between Creole and Cajun? And why is the food here so darn amazing?
Truth be told, we could offer a half dozen different food tours in the French Quarter and still never cover all the unique, exciting, joyful food experiences here. You get dining experiences here that you simply won't get anywhere else. Our tour is designed to provide a proper, stimulating, edifying and delicious survey of a food Mecca.
Due to the nature of creating a well balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions.

Most of the shops and restaurants included in the tour will not be able to accommodate strollers/pushchairs. If you have any doubt or concern regarding this matter, please contact us prior to booking.

Karen a true New Orleanian, born and raised, will have you understand why in New Orleans we don't "eat to live"...absolutely not...we "live to eat"!

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
