Itinerary
This Garden District tour is perfect for food lovers, history buffs, first-time visitors, and anyone who wants to taste the real New Orleans. Come hungry. Leave inspired.
Visit the Le Petite Bleu, a real locals’ favorite (sister restaurant to the famous Commanders Palace), to try some chef’s surprises and a refreshing frozen alcoholic beverage and then to stroll a bit. Please note tastings are in an upscale but casual atmosphere and you will enjoy them while standing.
Finish your Garden District food and cultural tour on a high note with a craft cocktail. End at The Rink where we culminate indoors and several seated areas. Peruse the wares at the various shops where many goods are made by local New Orleanians.

Traveler reviews
Worst tour company and guide ever
This company DK was horrible. I understand if you don't have enough people but then we agreed to a switch and they had 16 people on the tour. We previously booked for a small group because we prefer it and it is more fun. The tour guide was 28 minutes late. Worst tour guide ever. There were older people in our group and he just walked and never looked back to see if everyone was ok. NOLA has slate walls that are cracked and difficult to navigate. 2 People had falls and my friend and I a medical professionals helped them. He didn't even notice. We ended up on the French quarter tour. I Will never book another type with this company. The stops were not great either.
Must do
Wonderful tour. Lauren was very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Good experience Delicious snacks and drinks. Weather was too hot to fully enjoy the experience
The tour of the beautiful Garden District homes was very interesting . Jack was a delightful guide. It was a very hot day which was the only downside.
