    A taste of authentic Louisiana food. Ben our guide was great.. we experienced great food like gumbo, , muffellata sandwich, jambalayas, plantains and chicharrones... not to mention all the wonderful cocktails... and all along the way we learned the history about the origins of our tasting and about the various cultural influences. Plenty of food and drinks, and easy walking pace between stops. No breakfast needed before this tour, you won't be disappointed.

    The absolute HIGHLIGHT of our trip. Ben was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Definitely deserves a raise lol food and cocktails were delicious! Great way to learn all about NOLA, and taste all the things they’re known for. Book this for the first day of your trip, I feel like it set us up for an appreciation for the town the rest of the time we were there.

    It was a great experience! The other guest on the tour were great people to share the trip. Nate was a great host, and was very knowledgeable on both the food and drink history. A fantastic way to spend our 40th anniversary. Would highly recommend!

    It was a great experience. We got to experience the food and cocktails of New Orleans that we otherwise wouldn’t have tried. We learned history and saw a number of establishments. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. We made new friends since it was such a small group, only seven of us.

    What to expect

    1

    Bourbon Street

    The walking tour begins inside the award-winning Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. You will begin with Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo. We also kick the party off with our first cocktail here: the Cat 5 Hurricane. This part of the tour focuses historically on the pre-colonial and colonial period of Louisiana history, and usually lasts about 35 minutes.

    Duration 35 minutes
    2

    Pepper Palace

    Moving four blocks down you will enter Pepper Palace, where we begin to discuss the Cajun influence, and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, Buffalo Wings sauces, salsas, dry rubs and more. Customers on the tour will also receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce.

    Duration 15 minutes
    3

    Royal Street

    From there you move 4 blocks up to Leah’s Pralines: a 3rd generation family-owned candy store. You will sample traditional pralines and their unique Bacon Pecan Brittle.

    Duration 15 minutes
    4

    French Quarter

    The next stop is two blocks away and known as the Napoleon House, a legendary New Orleans restaurant in an 18th century building with a beautiful courtyard. You will experience their unique Muffuletta sandwich, chicken & andouille sausage jambalaya, and their iconic Pimm's Cup cocktail, a drink introduced to the Americas by the Napoleon House in the 1940's.

    Duration 20 minutes
    5

    Jackson Square

    Three more blocks over and you will arrive at the award-winning Dickie Brennan’s Tableau to sip your next cocktail: the refreshing French 75, a combo of fresh lemon, brandy and bubbles.

    Duration 30 minutes
    6

    Decatur Street

    From there you pass through famous Jackson Square towards Café du Monde, then along the French Market area, ultimately landing at the James Beard Award-nominated Cane & Table. With a focus on rustic colonial cuisine and playful rum drinks, you will sample plantains and curry pork skins, and a classic daiquiri of Caribbean white rum, fresh lime and sugar.
