Enjoyed our tour with Nancy, who gave a wonderful combination of New Orleans history and introduced us to the classic food items of the city, mufalettas, Po boys and jumbalaya. Her status as a native heightened her credibility. This was our first food tour ever and and she set the bar high.

This tour is well worth the money. You sample 5 New Orleans specialties and it was more than enough for lunch. Our guide, Dave, was very informative. He even pointed out a few non-food related spots which we visited later.
