The New Orleans food tour was a cool way to experience the city’s culture through its cuisine. Every stop featured delicious local staples that showcased the unique flavors and traditions of New Orleans. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the history behind each dish and offered recommendations that only a local would know. It was the perfect blend of amazing food, rich culture, and insider knowledge. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the authentic taste of New Orleans.

My husband and I set up multiple food tours of the French Quarter for our wedding anniversary trip. We had Raffle as our guide and we loved his personality and the history he shared with us. We also enjoyed the fact that the restaurants were all part of the Oceana family.

This was a fascinating tour and Raff was a fantastic tour guide who not only grew up in the French Quarter, but he’s a very knowledgeable cook as well and shared how the dishes are made. We felt like we’d had a hearty meal by the end of the tour. It’s a tasting tour so come hungry!
Cynthia_P, May 2026
Omg!!!! What an amazing tour. Raffle our guide was knowledgeable and and spoke organically about the culture of New Orleans. He was funny and energetic. The food stops were great. Having been to New Orleans multiple times we had already experienced 2 out of the 3 stops on the tour. However ; we were able to experienced flavors we had not savored before. Also learned on this tour from raffle the difference between Cajun and creole cooking and the history thereof. Honestly if you're looking for a great tasting tour that's fun and tasty dont miss this one. Promise you won't be disappointed

Use it! The Tour guides are very knowledgeable and funny with anecdotes.
The restaurants are the best. So much history here, and so many great restaurants. Use the Tour to help decide where to explore the area and where to eat.

Only 3 stops, the guide was great, food was delicious but there were less stops than advertised. I wouldn't have paid for this if I'd known.

We were hungry when we arrived, thinking we would be eating food at several spots, we only had a bienet and coffee all day. Our tour was to be 4-6. Dinner hour. Our first stop, Oceana, we had 2 tiny cups, maybe 2 tablespoons each, of gumbo w mushy shrimp and jambalaya with no protein. The tour guide, Don tried to give us history but it was too loud on the patio to hear. He talked forever. History stories were replaced with lots of cooking stories from his own kitchen. I’m a foodie.… not a chef. I want to talk about food, not cooking. We left there starving. Our next stop, Mumbos, was worse. We were led outside, down a trash can lined path to a back patio. The music from speakers was so loud, any hope of hearing his cooking stories was lost. We were given one tiny cup of ettoufee. It was tasty, but we were hungry! No bread, no ability to buy a drink or soda, Don talked even longer here. Other tourists spoke to us about too much talk and not enough food. By this time, we were starving. He told us we had one more stop to try one more taste then we would just walk up and down Bourbon street while he talked about cooking. It was terrible. Our first food tour left us hungry, irritable and needing to go spend another $$$ to have dinner. Don’t do this your. .

Raffle was our tour guide, and couldn't ask for a better one. He seems to know everyone in the city, and is a wealth of information. It was entertaining and educational!

Our tour guide Raffle was amazing, hearing the history of New Orleans and the recipes he shared was top notch. The food we tasted was delicious. If and when we are back in town we will make sure to book future tours with him, thanks Raffle 👍
Jackie_W, Jul 2025
Scrumptious food at three restaurant stops, with a lot of educational information about the history of New Orleans, the difference between creole and Cajun, led by a very experienced tour guide who grew up in the French Quarter. Recommend in the beginning of the trip so you have a subject matter expert on your itinerary in Nola.
Neil_D, Jul 2025
Excellent tour guide. He was very professional, gave us a lot of good information about the history of French quarters, food was excellent
Jaleesa_L, Jul 2025
We walked to various restaurants trying signature dishes related to New Orleans! A very wonderful experience.
K_L, Jul 2025
Raffle was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgable about the history of the area and its cuisine. It was obvious that he has a great relationship with the restaurants he took us too, as he called everyone by name and received a warm reception. The food at each stop was great. This was a really nice way to start our trip, and to get a taste of the local fare. We ended up visiting one of the restaurants later in our trip and took his advice on some other recommendations, which were great as well.
Ryan_C, Jun 2025
It was amazing! We loved it including my six kids. Our tour guide Raffle was super knowledgeable about New Orleans: the food, people, and area. Everyone loved the different foods that we were able to try. There were plenty of water and bathroom opportunities on the tour. Raffle also gave amazing recommendations for the rest of our trip here in New Orleans.
Eva_H, Apr 2025
We had a wonderful New Orleans food walking tour with Raffles through the French Quarter with lots of culinary expertise and small portions to try at various restaurants. We had Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish Etouffé and Red Beans and Rice and there was water everywhere. The two hours were more than entertaining and delicious! Highly recommended.
heather_r, Apr 2025
This is the second time I have gone on this tour and it was amazing both times. My husband and I got to stroll through the French Quarter, stopping several times to try the best of some traditional New Orleans dishes, all while hearing stories about the city's history, prominent figures, and architecture. As if that wasn't enough, our tour guide, Raffle, was fantastic. He grew up right there and had amazing stories of his own to share. Don't miss this tour.
Patty_J, Apr 2025
Guide Raffle was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. Food samples were delicious. Highly recommended.
