What you’ll do:

Eat your way through New Orleans’ Garden District on a food tour led by a born-and-raised local, with Creole and Cajun dishes, local drinks, and 300 years of stories between bites.

• Visit Lafayette Cemetery - Hear about the city’s distinctive funeral customs and the history of New Orleans’ early years.

• Stroll the Garden District - Walk past historic mansions and oak-lined streets while your guide explains the neighborhood’s architecture.

About this experience partner:

Bon Moment New Orleans Food Tours was founded by Michelle, a born-and-raised New Orleanian who started the company to support local businesses and share the city’s history through its food and drinks. Her Garden District walking tours pair neighborhood storytelling with stops at locally owned eateries, giving guests an intimate, insider look at the city. Whether guests are visiting for the first time or the hundredth, the goal is the same: a bon moment, or “good time.”

Additional information:

• The tour walks the neighborhood for about 45 minutes before the first food stop, so hydrate and have a light snack beforehand.

• Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, since tours run rain or shine.

• Food, drinks, tax, and restaurant gratuity are included, but tips for your tour guide are not and are always appreciated.

• Let the team know about dietary restrictions in advance. The tour is not recommended for vegan diets or severe allergies.
