Welcome to New Orleans! We are known worldwide for our friendly people, rich history, fascinating architecture - and GOOD FOOD!
The Premier New Orleans Food Tour encompasses all of the above, plus our guides are good-looking and brainy!

Did you know that Red Beans and Rice was Louis Armstrong's favorite dish? Well, it was! When you have a cup, you'll understand why. There's hardly anything tastier than the Sicilian Muffaletta ~ ham, prosciutto, salami, cheeses, olives. Mmmmm you'll love it. So, what "must taste" dish is left? A steamy hot cup of Gumbo. Yesssss! Let's finish our afternoon off with a mouthwatering dessert that came to us from France - a Pecan Praline! The tour ends near Jackson Square, in the heart of the Quarter.
