Step into the heart of Old Town, where New Orleans first began to pulse with life. This is a place where African, French, Spanish, Caribbean, and Indigenous cultures have melded together over centuries, creating the distinctive magic that defines NOLA. On this tour, you won’t merely sample the city's cuisine, you'll experience its history, listen to its tales, and gain an understanding of how these diverse cultures have shaped its food, music, and spirit.
Start your journey with a local favourite - a beignet. This fluffy pastry dusted with sugar is a delight to the senses. Next, venture to America’s oldest public market, The French Market. This bustling hub has been a gathering place for locals for centuries, offering a myriad of flavours and characters to meet. Then, meander through the scenic streets of the French Quarter where your guide will introduce you to some delectable Cajun dishes. Try some locally-made hot sauce, carrying the bold flavours of African heritage that are deeply ingrained in Louisiana’s soul food.
Next, savour gumbo, a legendary stew that blends French, African, and Native American influences, with each bite packed with history. Conclude your culinary adventure with a sweet treat.
This isn’t simply a food tour. It’s an exploration through the heart of New Orleans, where every flavour tells a tale and every story brings the city’s rich culture to life. Arrive hungry and curious, and depart with a piece of NOLA embedded in your soul.
