Discover the rich history and traditions behind the most iconic foods of New Orleans on this tasting and cultural tour of the French Quarter!
We’ll explore the oldest public market in the US, the French Market, and hear about its Native American roots and current-day role in NOLA’s culinary scene. Along the way we may sample a beignet, brought to New Orleans in the 18th century by French colonists from "the old mother country" and also by Acadians.
Your local guide will then navigate you through the French Quarter, where you’ll experience the influence of Cajun and Creole cultures on New Orleans favorites like gumbo and sausages. We’ll uncover Louisiana origins and farming traditions, which also link our African American and Caribbean communities.
Among other immigrant-inspired cuisines found here in the Crescent City, we’ll enjoy a signature sandwich, before ending with a sweet treat with ties to the city’s history and locally harvested ingredients. Bon appétit!

The French Quarter Food Tour was delicious and fascinating and I left full like I had just eaten Thanksgiving dinner. So much food and so tasty! I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to eat some of the finest food that New Orleans has to offer and learn so much about the history of the city at the same time. Our guide Neil was full of local tales and legends that we took in as we made an attempt to finish all the food that he gave us. This tour literally replaced two meals since I didn't eat lunch in prep for the tour and after the tour I definitely did not need dinner.

I am so happy that I took this tour! It gave me a way to try a variety of the great New Orleans food without having to try to find the locations myself. Lauren, my guide, was so great at getting us to engage with the food by asking the group about what we were tasting and what flavors stood out. She giving us advice on how to eat each dish and how they might be different at other places throughout the city. She even provided great recommendations on where to continue our dining adventure after the tour. So worth it!
