Traveler reviews
Great Tour!
The tour was delicious and informative. We loved the history behind the foods and appreciated Beth’s knowledge and her unique ability to tell us stories of the past. She’s one of one. If you love good food and history…Take the tour with Beth.

great history and food
Beth was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable on New Orleans history and relating it to their foods. great restaurant choices.
You should go, it’s worth it.
I was very happy with the tour all around. I felt the selection was balanced, the distance was fine & our guide, Beth, was amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge, not only about NOLA, but every state each tour participant was from, she knew some tidbit of history. Really enjoyed all the information we learned. Will I remember it? Hopefully, but it was a lot. We had a vegetarian in our group & each establishment catered to his needs. The first restaurant was very nice, it was at the meeting spot 3rd Block Depot. We ate chicken & sausage gumbo. I didn’t think I liked gumbo, but it was good. Then we were off the Pepper Palace. We had ice cream with spicy sauce. It was hot! Then we went to Leah’s Prailine. The brittle was so good I had to buy some. The toNola Poboys. We had catfish poboy, boudin ball (very good) and muffeletta. Then to to Creole Cookery. The restaurant was so nice inside. Ate beans & rice and bananas foster. Both were very good. I had zero Complaints & would recommend.
