Itinerary
Magazine St is in the heart of the Garden District. There are tons of boutique shops, art galleries, and of course restaurants. We will walk to 5 restaurants on the main strip and you'll learn what real New Orleans cuisine is. Be prepared to be surprised!
The Garden District is an amazing local neighborhood filled with beautiful houses, fun shops, and great restaurants. While we will focus on the food side of things, your guide will be able to direct you to shops and houses to see after the tour. They can also direct you on how to use the Streetcar! If you're interested in seeing the houses ask us about our Garden District walking tour where we walk the neighborhood discussing architecture, history and movie locations!

Looking for a little lagniappe to complete your trip to New Orleans? These guys are great! With a small group for the tour made for a much more personal experience and the food and guide were phenomenal. Highly recommend it.
This was a great tour. Our guide, Ty, was so friendly and informative. He really made the tour fun. Selection of restaurants was amazing…really enjoyed the tour.
The tour guide was enthusiastic about the city and the food. However we think the tour was overpriced given the quality of the food offered on the tour.
Our guide Adelai was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Come hungry because you will eat. So much.
We visit NOLA often and this was one of our better experiences. Our guide Tylyn was very knowledgeable and friendly. Easy walk and the food was delicious.
This is a great food tour that celebrates the best of the diversity of the New Orleans culinary scene. Our tour guide, Ty, was knowledgeable and interesting. He not only shared the history of the food we were tasting, but the history of the r city he clearly loves as well. Definitely take this tour!
First and foremost, the food! ❤️ Our tour guide, Mark, curated the most delightful selection of dishes that gave us such a wonderful taste of New Orleans! Every stop was delicious, but what made the experience truly special was Mark himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culinary culture of New Orleans, but went above and beyond by teaching us about the history, traditions, and Southern culture woven into the city’s food. Mark was personable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing his city with others. A delicious little journey through the heart and history of New Orleans 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been to New Orleans many times. I still learned so much about local food history on this tour. Tour guide Addie was the best and took us to some of the best local restaurants and shops off the beaten path. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!
We had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area passionate about the food
Adelai was great--able to really tailor the speaking points to our interests and the entire afternoon was full of surprises and delights!
We had a great experience. The food was great and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He was very engaging we felt like we made a new friend around great food!
This was a great experience! Lots of great food and drink. Adelai gave us a look into the culture and stories behind the food. Truly enjoyed.
Loved the classic food items mixed in with new takes, making it a unique food tour. Learned a lot about cooking techniques as well as some cultural history of the city. Lots of food - I'm still full the next day!
Great tour with Mark! Learned a lot about the area and the food, and everything was delicious! Still thinking about the final dish.
My wife and I have done a handful of food tours. This was easily the best food tour we have done! Tylyn was an amazing guide for us. He knew so much history and knowledge of all of the places we went, on all kinds of food, and history of just New Orleans in general. He was very attentive, he gave us great recommendations, and really made this tour experience a memorable one. This is also not your average food tour. Most food tours will give you very little samples at all of your stops. This food tour made sure to actually feed us and gave us excellent portion sizes at every place we went. We started this food tour very hungry, and ended it feeling full. This was an amazing food tour that I cannot recommend enough!
Even though this is listed as a walking tour, you don’t walk that far. The street that the tour is located on has shopping when you’re finished. All the food options were different and very good. All the restaurants we stopped at on the tour were organized and ready for us. And our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. He was polite, professional, and knew his history. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was one of the best tours we went on in New Orleans..
This is a walking tour, but you don’t actually walk that far. There’s great shopping after you’re done with the tour. All the food was very good. All the restaurants visited were organized and ready for us. Our tour guide was polite, professional, and knew his history.
We had SO MUCH fun on our food tour with EJ. He's incredibly knowledgeable and shared great information with us while still allowing us space to enjoy ourselves. This tour was an incredible value for the money, because the portion sizes are generous but leave just enough room for you to make it through the whole tour without being uncomfortably full. We visited local favorites that we will absolutely return to and saw a new side of New Orleans. The small group size makes this a perfect outing for friends and family.
Perfect amount of food. Didn’t leave hungry but was able to eat everything. I took the 3pm tour but think I would’ve preferred the timing of the 11am tour as we had a big dinner planned. We were so impressed with Mark’s expertise in selecting meal options (and drink recommendations) that we took his advice for the rest of our time in NOLA. His advice was great and included tips for restaurants that we never would’ve known about (such as getting a tour at one landmark local restaurant).
This was probably the best food tour I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on a few in different cities. E.J. was our guide and was absolutely amazing. His vast knowledge of history combined with personal and familial experience provided a rich and deep understanding of the this city’s food, people, and culture. The five stops chosen for the tour were perfect and gave us a chance to try some interesting and tasty cuisine while personally, stepping out of my comfort zone. Don’t forget the cocktails when you go. Each place will recommend what goes best and you should definitely stick with those recommendations. Overall, I would do this tour 10 times over and cannot recommend it enough.
Actually very little walking involved, so don’t let “walking tour” deter you. We visited five establishments, (four savory /one sweet) not sure if that’s standard or if they vary. Ours were all on same street. I would have preferred a bit more variety in location, but enjoyed what we did. All four (savory) were good, with three of which I’d visit again. I would definitely not revisit our dessert location. It was a disappointment, but in no way a reflection on this company. We would (and expected) have much rather had a traditional New Orleans themed dessert, such as bread pudding or pralines, not cupcakes and macaroons. Our tour guide, EJ was awesome in so many ways. If you can request, do so!
We had a great time with Ty. He was very informative and the food was delish, like a five course meal. Overall, I would recommend this experience! We also had a fun group.
We've been on several food tours and this was by far our favorite! Portions were perfect - totally satisfied without being overly stuffed so we actually enjoyed ALL the food! Ty was knowledgeable and excited about not only the places we stopped, but also the history of the town and food. Highly recommend this tour!
This is a great Tour! EJ was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating! We saw unique places on Magazine Street, there was a great surprise at each spot, lots of great information and of course good food..
We 100% would do this food tour again. It was a great way to experience a lot of the iconic foods of New Orleans if you have a limited amount of time. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We even returned to a few of the stops later in our visit to try other items from their menus.
Great trip with Tylyn. Tried some things we typically wouldn't and was pleasantly surprised by all. Great food and historical info.
We had an amazing food tour with Tylyn! I went with my partner and another couple, and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Tylyn was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture behind each dish, and I loved how he set the context before every stop. It really made me appreciate the food on a deeper level than I would have otherwise. The food sampling was quintessential New Orleans cuisine with some fun fusion elements mixed in. We felt genuinely welcomed at every stop along the way. The tour was very well organized, and the communication beforehand was clear and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys not only great food, but also learning about the culture and stories that make it so special.
The tour and our guide were great. Tye was informative and passionate about the food, the restaurants, and ensured we had a good time. The food and restaurants were wonderful.
This was an excellent introduction to the history of New Orleans as well as the foods of a specific area. It would be great to do at the beginning of a trip because the suggestions go way beyond the day.
This was a really neat tour. Getting to experience the food outside of the French. Quarter was a really neat way to experience. Great food that you would not otherwise find. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our Magazine street food tour and highly recommend it. Adelai carefully curated the experience to include traditional New Orleans cuisine and new takes on classics. We learned a lot about Cajun culture and are prepared to wrestle an alligator, if necessary. We highly recommend this fun and enlightening tour.
I cannot say enough! This tour was the best. Mark brought our small group to a number of restsurants, including some hidden ones. We had a great sampling from some of the best restaurants in the Audoban/Garden District. Mark is a font of information and is a great host.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the New Orleans cuisine. Ty was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time.
Tylyn was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history behind the places we ate at and made the experience very fun! Would highly recommend this tour!
Delicious food and tour guide experience. I found the the restaurants to be amazing and an eclectic mix of cuisine.
Marc provided us with great food experiences while sharing some great information about New Orleans and the Garden District. Come hungry and follow his recommendations!
3 hour tour with two couples and guide Michelle who's well versed on a lot of historical facts on the history of New Orleans and the culture of the diverse community. We visited three places and had red beans and rice, a Napoleon stack consisting of fried eggplant and shrimp with a crawfish sauce, empanadas, and beignets with coffee. All of the food was excellent! The Magazine Street area was great to walk and shop in after the tour was completed as well. The architecture of the residential area is very beautiful to double back and take pics later so set aside the day as this is more like a day trip! Very well worth having a guide n good times meeting other travelers.
EJ was a fabulous tour guide. We enjoyed the food greatly and the history of the New Orleans culture. Thank you EJ for a great experience!
A very thoughtful and informed selection of local foods. Each one better than the last. The food experiences were heightened by Mark’s deep understanding of the local history and restaurateurs. We got away from the typical CBD and French Quarter offerings to get great Etoufee, shrimp and a hot dog with a secret ingredient.
Thank you Mark! We had a great time. Thank you for all the local insights! I highly recommend you do this tour on your first day in NOLA. We learned SO much!
We did the Magazine Street Foodie Tour with Mark, and it was the BEST! I'm a food tour junkie, I take at least one on every vacation, and I can honestly say this was one of the best. Mark exudes a passion for NOLA and it is palpable. Teaching us how to fold an 8-page pamphlet from a single piece of paper, sharing abundant NOLA history, and learning the local lingo were added attractions to the AMAZING food! I certainly would not have tried some of the dishes we shared at the Mom & Pop restaurants he chose. The best part was, they didn't text me endlessly asking for a review! This review is from my heart and was NOT solicited. For a truly unique experience, I highly recommend the Magazine Street Foodie Tour...and ask for Mark!
Delicious food and very informative guide. Adalay (not sure of the spelling) was amazing! We had such a fun time.
Great tour! Adelaide, aka Aubrey,☺️ was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. She has a great sense of humor. The serving sizes were quite large and very tasty. There wasn't anything we didn't like. Definitely recommend this tour.
“The blue haired girl”!! She was a great guide very knowledgeable and entertaining! Highly recommend.
Our host Ty was fantastic. Funny and knowledgeable. Enjoyed all the places we visited. You do not leave hungry. This is an easy tour to walk. I did it with a broken foot. Highly recommend.
Everything about this tour was excellent. Adelai was our guide, and she was incredible. She didn't just give us facts about the food; she brought the region and its cuisine to life with a thoughtful mixture of history, folklore, and personal insight. Along the way, she introduced us to fun shops and stores, and was responsive to what our group seemed to be into. It felt like the tour was designed just for us. The food at each stop was incredible, there was a good variety of locations, tastes, and textures, and the tour itself was well-paced. We left full, happy, and wanting to come back to the Garden District for more. If you're on the fence, do it - and hope for Adelai!
Don't eat before you go. B.J. was very knowledgeable of the area and the restaurant's we ate at. I won't reveal my favorite place but the food was very good.
There is no better way to spend a couple of hours while in New Orleans. The New Orleans Secrets Magazine Street Foodie Tour is always delicious! This was our second time to take the tour and we tried a couple of new spots and were treated to new items this time! Ty was a great guide and super relatable. We learned new things, I tried delicious interesting food —and it’s an easy walk even in the heat! The insights on and history of the area just makes it all the more fun — the food history is as good as the food we ate! This was our second time to do this tour and I’d do it again! I can vouch that both tour guides were NOLA natives who knew the area and gave great recommendations for other places to visit, stop and shop, and other great off the beaten path restaurants to dine in all the while casually strolling through a lovely neighborhood! Go try it! Come hungry!
This was such a great food tour. Each restaurant had a unique spin on New Orleans foods. Our guide Ty shared lots of great information about food and New Orleans. The next time we are in New Orleans I hope we can get with Ty to arrange another food tour for our group.
