Don't! We booked this tour 2 months in advance. 3 hours before we were scheduled for the tour, they canceled. Because they had no guide for us. We were on another excursion, so didn't know they canceled until we were waiting at the meeting point. I would never book this company again. I only gave them a one because I couldn't give them a zero. I would advise via tour to take them off of their tour list.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

It’s unfortunate that you had this experience.However this excursion was cancelled the day before as I stated this has a minimum requirement to complete the tour and unfortunately this was not met and you was issued a full refund and apology. You and I spoke about this however you still come to the reviews and wrote a disgruntled comment filled with misinformation.

The food was amazing, and...

Sharon_D, Mar 2026

The food was amazing, and lots of it. We appreciated eating food we would not have had the oportunity to try and in restaurants where locals frequent. We will go back to these restaurants. This was a great experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for choosing us to host your experience. I appreciate you it was truly a pleasure

Take this tour early in your trip so that you can go back and eat at the restaurants.

The food was amazing. I tried food that I didn’t think I would like just to say I tried it, and ended up eating the whole thing because it was so delicious. It is a ton of food, make sure you are really hungry. Go early in your trip so that you can come back to some of the restaurants. We went the day before we were leaving and we all regret that. We wish we would have done it the first day so we could have gone back to the area to eat. We would go back and eat at every single stop we made, plus there were other restaurants we passed that we did not stop at that looked amazing and we wish we would have been able to eat at. There is plenty of free parking in the area. We took an Uber to the tour and back, but wish we would have driven ourselves from the hotel. We could have saved ourselves some money. Our guide was funny and very knowledgeable of the area. I would take this tour again the next time we come to New Orleans. We had crawfish empanadas, red beans and rice balls, catfish po boys, pralines, fried oysters, eggplant with crab, bread pudding, and an amazing pizza.

Po’boys, Pizza and Pies…oh my!

Elizabeth_E, Jun 2025

I can not say enough good about this tour and the wonderful woman running it!! I promise we don’t leave hungry lol, and even in the New Orleans heat we enjoyed every moment listening to history, personal stories, and laughing over good times and good grub. 3 hours, 2 miles, and 1 incredible experience!!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Nobody there

Sherry_O, Nov 2024

Took a Rideshare over there there was nobody there the entire Street Corner was dark there was a closed business that looked like it might have been a restaurant. I called and asked for my money back and had to pay the Rideshare driver to take me somewhere else and luckily she was willing to do that. I don't know what happened to these people we drove around the block several times to make sure that I was at the right location. I was lucky that the Rideshare driver did not insist that I get out and be alone on a dark Street Corner miles from anywhere

The guide had a lot of information on the area and we had got to try a lot of food we are not used to eating. Everything we tried was delicious, the fried oysters were very strange.
