The food was amazing, but it was more than a tasting. Katherine was super knowledgeable and explained us some of the history about the food and some of the building's we walked by.
It was such an interesting tour! Andre was an amazing guide, and he really made it a special experience. We got to experience some of New Orleans most famous dishes in just 2 hours, and we also learned so much information about New Orleans's history from Andre. It was an incredible experience and I would definitely recommend it.
Andre was an incredible tour guide! So knowledgeable. The places we went were fun and the food was delicious!
I’m no novice when it comes to food tours and this was, by far, my favorite. Andre was so knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a great time that even my socially awkward husband enjoyed. It was definitely a fantastic value for the price and just the right length of tour. The group size was ideal so everyone was part of the experience.
Loved it all and enjoyed it thoroughly
Great tour! We were able to personalize it, some waits but our guide kept things flowing
Katherine was a wonderful guide and not only took us to the best food spots but answered our questions and gave recommendations with ease! Would definitely recommend taking this tour!
Awesome experience! Katherine is a delightful guide!
Katherine, or your guide, was great- very personable & knowledgeable. The food was authentic and delicious! Excellent experience... Just do it!
In general, it was a nice and balanced tour. The food quantities were just right. The history around the food was nice and just the right amount of detail. And the walking was also just the right amount.
Excellent experience. Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Catherine has obviously spent time researching New Orleans and the source of where the popular food came from. Very interesting and we all learned a lot. Despite touring on a very rainy day, Catherine managed to lead us around town with no problems.
Katherine was the greatest guide she chose the most delicious places to sample unique and traditional foods.
Amazing! Very impressive and informative. Wonderful personality!!
Katherine was a fantastic guide! The tour was awesome, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it to others considering it! Loved the gumbo & beignets! Thank you, Katherine!
Very good. André is an amazing guide. He knows a lot and he changed our view of the city. Enjoy Guys!
Lovely tour guide Katherine!
Andre was the best guide Very knowledgeable of the food and local history. His choices of presenting the food to us was so wonderful. Anyone headed to New Orleans and want to have a wonderful time ask for Andre.
Had a great experience with Andre on the food tour! He was very knowledgeable about the New Orleans history and all of the food that we tried! I didn’t know what to expect at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. We walked around Jackson square in the French quarter where we tried several different New Orleans dishes. Andre was very willing to accommodate if we didn’t like the options or were allergic. The length of the tour was about 2.5 hours which I thought was perfect and Andre never ran out of history. Overall I would definitely recommend to someone who hasn’t tried the New Orleans classics or isn’t familiar with the history there!
Andre was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city of New Orleans and all it has to offer. He gave us great recommendations of new places to try and taught us the history behind the city. Overall, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Andre!
Katherine was an awesome guide! We had a blast. Highlight of our trip. We loved her insights and the recommendations. 10 out of 10!
Katherine L. Did a fantastic job! She was very knowledgeable and friendly! I would highly recommend her.
A very good food tour through the French Quarter! I was fortunate enough to end up with a private tour (by happenstance, not choice) and my guide was very knowledgeable about both the history of the district and the food. Food stops may change but the jambalaya, gumbo, muffuletta, pralines, and callas were more than enough for me to eat (and the muffuletta is HUGE, so be prepared to take some home).
Andre was amazing - very knowledgeable and happy to answer any odd question that would come to mind. 10/10 would recommend. He also sent us a link to all of the recipes at the end of the tour.
Andrew was very informative and fun to chat with. He does great tours. Sorry my daughter who is 13 was not as entertained but best believe she learned something. Hope to do another tour soon!
The tour guide Kristi, was excellent. She made sure that every guest could hear her fabulous stories. She made great decisions based on the guests’ personal tastes and everyone felt fully included in the activities. We would opt to do the same tour with her on our next visit. The food was fabulous and the quantity was ideal.
Great tour just enough information and enough food to make it a very enjoyable afternoon Chip did a great job.
Katherine our guide was delightful and we learned a lot of history as well as enjoyed the food!!
Andre was an awesome guide! The way he told stories of the history of New Orleans food and how it was connected to the people of the land was super informative. Andre was extremely engaging, and showed care for everyone's needs while on the tour. I learned so much about the city of New Orleans and it's food scene from him. I would definitely take another tour with Andre!
We got to try so many different local places in New Orleans favorites. We got to learn the history of the city. Neil Hart tour guide was so smart and intelligent of the city. It was a perfect day to have some experience in New Orleans.
Great guide, food was really fun- thanks for stopping to experience the music!
Kristi was a great tour guide that was both friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend this tour especially with someone like Kristi
Andre was very knowledgeable about NOLA and the culture that inspired the food we at! Great way to see the Big Easy!!
Kristi was an excellent guide. True to her word, she gave us a lot of local color--even explaining how to cook gumbo! Food was pretty good--beignets excellent, gumbo very good, jambalaya good, candy good! Po'boy was a colorful stop though the sandwich was only ok.
WOW! Our New Orleans food tour with Kristi was exceptional! The food, local flavors, culture, and stories made it unforgettable. Having experienced food tours in Paris, Madrid, Prague, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Seattle and NYC, can confidently say this ranks among the best! If you visit New Orleans, make this tour a top priority. It’ll be a highlight of your trip! 👍👍

Catherine was excellant and good value.
Andre was a great food and history guide. Learned so much and tried things I would have never thought about! Food was delicious... highly recommend!
This tour included an amazing amount of food in great variety. Our tour guide was an older gentleman who really knew his history! Wow, ask this guy anything! He educated us on the different cultures that make up New Orleans, where to find the best Gumbo, and the history of the city. It was not a lot of walking with places to sit down and talk while tasting delicious New Orleans food. We started with beignets foster, a wonderful twist on the traditional beignet Then onto gumbo and Jambalaya at the Gumbo Shop. Muffaletta and red beans and rice, at the French Market Cafe and Madeline's pralines. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Well worth th4e money and time.
Fantastic Experience! Katherine had so much knowledge about New Orleans to share and the food was incredible. The opportunity to try food from locals was something I really appreciated. You will not go wrong with this experience.
Great experience! I learned so much and the food was delicious!
Our guide Andre was great! He took us to his favorite places and shared plenty of history along the way. Definitely recommend this tour - and Andre!
Learned a lot of history along with the tour. Great experience with tour guide Andre. He was very knowledgeable and food selections were great.
Our guide was Andre-D, he was so informative & took us to delicious locations, plenty of food, recommendations of where else to go eat & some recipes to try out at home. I could not fault him. My first Intrepid experience & I can’t wait to try out some more.
Andre was fantastic! His knowledge of New Orleans and food was excellent. He was patient with us all and he had some amazing tales to tell. I would recommend this tour to everyone including non foodies.It was a history lesson and totally enjoyable (and delicious). Thank you again Andre, my visit to New Orleans is so enriched by this tour.
Kristi was a great food and history guide. We loved her style, fun and laidback. She was very knowledgeable about the city and it history.
A fun tour with lots of great classic New Orleans dishes. Our guide Andre was very knowledgeable about the history of the French Quarter and how the food evolved over the years. There is quite a bit of walking, so make sure to wear comfy shoes.
