Traveler reviews
Excellent Tour
This was an excellent tour with Jonn as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about New Orleans history and very informative. My family enjoyed ourselves and learned a great deal about the city and we especially loved the visit to Cafe Du Monde at the end.
Worth booking
Jonn was very informative & worked hard to keep our group engaged in very hot temperatures! The beignets were also wonderful
A Delicious Journey Through the Heart of New Orleans
We had an amazing time on our New Orleans food tour! Susan did a fantastic job bringing the city to life with her knowledge of the history, culture, and unique character of each neighborhood we visited. The food was absolutely delicious, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Susan’s passion for New Orleans really shined through and made the experience feel much more personal than just a food tour. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the flavors and soul of the city!
Amazing food tour with Susan and Destination Kitchen
We loved this tour from top to bottom. Great food, great scenery and great explanations throughout. Susan, our guide, excels at her job. She had engaging, thorough and thoughtful explanations of all the sights we were walking through and food we were eating. Would highly recommend this tour and especially Susan!
A must go when you're in New Orleans
Love the coffee and beniget a must visit. There was no fee to get in. We went on a tour bus of New Orleans and it was part of the tour. We stayed for about 15-20 minutes. Open and airy plenty of seating. Lots of people. The staff was nice. The coffee is delicious. They're known for their benigts.
