Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA

The walking tour begins inside the award-winning Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. You will begin with three dishes: Alligator Boudin with 3 Mustard Sauce, BBQ Oysters and an Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo. We also kick the party off with our first cocktail here: the Cat 5 Hurricane. This part of the tour focuses historically on the colonial period of Louisiana history, and usually lasts about 35 minutes.

Duration: 35 minutes

Stop At: Pepper Palace, 224 Chartres St 1 French Market Place, New Orleans, LA 70130-2290

Moving four blocks down you will enter Pepper Palace, where we begin to discuss the Cajun influence, and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, Buffalo Wings sauces, salsas, dry rubs and more. Customers on the tour will also receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: French Quarter, New Orleans, LA

The next stop is two blocks away and known as St. Lawrence, an off-the-beaten-path gastropub with a huge beer selection, craft daiquiris & upscale bar bites. You will experience a true New Orleans rite-of-passage: a Pimm’s Cup cocktail “to-go”.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130

From there you move 4 blocks up to Leah’s Pralines: a 3rd generation family-owned candy store. You will sample traditional pralines and their unique Bacon Pecan Brittle.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Jackson Square, 615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116-3234

Three more blocks over and you will arrive at the award-winning Dickie Brennan’s Tableau to sip your next cocktail: the refreshing French 75, a combo of fresh lemon, brandy and bubbles. As you learn about Louisiana’s 19th century influences you will sample artisanal cheese boards of both and imported local delicacies.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA 70116

From there you pass through famous Jackson Square towards Café du Monde, then along the French Market area, ultimately landing at the James Beard Award-nominated Cane & Table. With a focus on rustic colonial cuisine and playful rum drinks, you will sample a family-style PuPu Platter and a classic daiquiri of Caribbean white rum, fresh lime and sugar.

Duration: 45 minutes

Nate was an excellent guide. He knew so much incredible history. The venues we were taken to were exceptional and fun. Small group allowed for lots of questions and conversations. Our group enjoyed each other’s company and had fun even though we were strangers. Plenty of delicious food and great drinks! I’ve been to Nola at least 10x and have never ordered a Pimms Cup. It was my go-to drink the rest of the weekend! Plenty of photo opportunities along the way. The walk was short distances with multiple stops when the shade was available. Definitely a great way to spend an afternoon innNew Orleans. Would recommend this tour highly!

Great food! Great drinks! Great host! Nate was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was nice to get all the history. Tried things we would not normally have tried and found some new favorites! Book it, you won’t regret it!

Enjoyed the cocktails, probably never would have ordered them without the tour. The food was samples, I was expecting more. Would have loved to have had more muffaletta. Not a hot sauce fan but my husband got a chance to taste the pepper sauces. A nice small tour, six of us.

Our guide was awesome. The food was good and the drinks were plentiful. The Hot Sauce tasting was the only thing that didn't feel like it belonged on this tour. The tour would've been better without that stop.

This was a fantastic tour, our guide explained the history of each cocktail, the local history and the food. We went to fascinating places that you would pass without a thought on your own, steeped in history with terrific food. This is definitely a must-do!
