Frequently asked questions

Meeting Location: We will meet just outside of Nola Mia located at 2230 St. Claude Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70117. Look for your guide in our NO Secrets bright blue polo shirt when you arrive.
Of course! All of our guides are more than happy to share ideas for activities, make restaurant recommendations, anything you like – just ask!
No. This tour will expose guests to places and dishes that are great for vegetarians but are vegan in nature. This means that in addition to there not being any meat, there will also not be any animal-derived ingredients such as honey or dairy.
This tour is perfect for those who are vegan or just curious and open minded to vegan cuisine. We believe that those who are NOT vegan will be completely surprised at how wonderful vegan food, in particular vegan New Orleans food, actually is! Simply put, the items on this tour are amazing -- vegan or not!
On this tour, you will walk approximately 1.5 miles.
This tour is not suitable for children under six years old. In addition, there are restaurants that can be quite packed and difficult for a stroller. Depending on the preferred tour date, we may be able to accommodate younger children and strollers on a private tour (please contact us for details).
Not at all! This is not a “tasting” tour –– it’s an “eating” tour! You’ll have an entire vegan meal by the time the tour is done.
At one stop, we will pair the food with a particular beer (or soda for those not interested in beer). Alcoholic beverages are not included at the other stops, although we will make recommendations if you’d like to purchase additional drinks on your own! Tap water will be provided at each stop.
Our tours run rain or shine; please bring an umbrella or poncho in order to stay dry during the tour. If the weather is severe enough that it poses a danger, we will call you to explain our decision and discuss alternatives (this is why it’s very important to list a good cell phone number when booking online!). If we cancel a tour because of severe weather, all guests will be given a full refund.
Because we love anticipation (and because the tour may change on a given day due to restaurant closures/changes), we do not release where we go or what we eat –– except to say that it’s all wonderful AND vegan!
This tour will max out at 9 guests. We pride ourselves on small group sizes so you’ll never be a part of one of those massive tour groups!
Children 12 and under who share portions with their parents will be $39. If your child is a big eater, you may want to consider buying a full-priced ticket.
It depends. This tour cannot accommodate gluten free diets. There are also some dishes that have some spice so it may not be good for those who are sensitive to moderately spicy foods. We do need to know about any allergies or restrictions at the time of booking in order to prepare accordingly, and if you are unsure about any item in particular, just ask! Call, text, or email.

Magazine Street Foodie Tour

New Orleanians LOVE food, but they rarely go to the French Quarter to eat. Why? Because many of the best restaurants are located right in our neighborhoods!

One such foodie paradise for locals is Magazine Street. Join us as we eat our way through part of the famed Garden District, a vibrant neighborhood in Uptown, where locals of all ages come together to shop, sip, and sup in true New Orleanian fashion.

No gumbo here—let us treat you to New Orleans-style food most visitors don’t think to order on their own. Your meal will include 4 different savory restaurants for a total of 6 menu items, each specifically selected for its historical or cultural significance to New Orleans (as well as its great flavor)! Our 5th stop will delight your sweet tooth with a delicious dessert!

Only 9 spots are available per tour! The ticket includes a full meal (5 restaurants, 7+ food items — this is not a “tasting” tour!), a pint of local beer or soda, and all associated restaurant costs.

This New Orleans food tour walk covers 1/2 mile and will be held rain or shine. This tour does not accommodate vegan, low or gluten-free, kosher, or reduced-sodium dietary restrictions. This tour may not be a good fit for diets that prohibit both seafood and pork, since many dishes contain one or the other. A minimum of 2 people are required for this tour to run (may be booked separately).

Beyond the French Quarter Food Tour

Looking for an authentic, local dinner experience that goes beyond our typical Creole cuisine? Want to get away from the tourists traps and eat where New Orleanians eat? Dine at some of the best restaurants in New Orleans as you stroll through one of New Orleans’ most beautiful and culinarily diverse Uptown neighborhoods: Audubon.

On this evening food tour experience, you’ll learn the history of the Audubon neighborhood and visit 3 of the best restaurants in New Orleans owned by award-winning and beloved chefs.

Come hungry, as this is an eating tour, not a tasting tour!

You’ll start with a cocktail at the remarkably comfortable St. Joe bar and then it’s right to the restaurants! This is a progressive-style dinner where you discuss the iconic chefs and eat their amazing food in a small-group setting. Once again: come hungry!

New Orleans Cocktail Tour

Sometimes neat…sometimes on the rocks…but always very, very interesting! This French Quarter walking tour explores the parallels between our resilient and vibrant city with the tasty, storied cocktails that (refreshingly!) reflect her.

Get an insider’s look at some of the best French Quarter bars, each with its own story to tell. Imbibe in notable New Orleans cocktails while your guide reveals the historical events that are reflected in each, thoughtfully-chosen ingredient.

Plus, in our tiny group, ask questions! Looking for award-winning bartenders? Love a good dive bar? You’ll get recommendations specifically based on your taste and preferred vibe, many of which only a local would know.
