Overview

New Orleans stands as one of the most unique culinary destinations in the US, known especially for a dish that carries with it the storey of the city and its people: gumbo. On this food tour of the French Quarter, we’ll delight your taste buds with the various styles of gumbo and learn why this hearty dish captures the essence of the Crescent City.

With a local guide, you’ll be visiting beloved & lesser-known eateries serving up the best of gumbo, discovering the ingredients that go into creating the Creole,Cajun, Native American, and African influences that have evolved as immigrants shaped the city’s food scene.

This New Orleans food tour will have you soaking up rich history and the last of your bowl with some French bread, ending with a classic dessert with a storey of its own.

Along the way, your tour guide will point out buildings that represent the city’s mix of cultures just as much as gumbo, including the Parisian-inspired Pontalba buildings and iconic St. Louis Cathedral.
