Lauren was the best!!! So informative and took time to make sure everyone had their questions answered and a great time!!! Food was really yummy! We got to try so many things. The Muffaletta was worth the entire cost of the trip! Thanks Lauren!

Great food tour!!

Great tour! A nice selection took of many of the main staple food in New Orleans. Nate, our tour guide, was great! He did an amazing job of explaining the culture and history of New Orleans while tying in the origin of the food! I learned a lot while eating good food, definitely recommend!!
