About this Experience

What you'll do:

Most people are familiar with Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, but many people don’t know Magazine Street, which is where our tour takes place and has a rich history of food, art, culture, and nightlife. Walking along Magazine Street, we’ll visit 4 different shops - trying donuts and beignets all along the way. Starting with traditional beignets with powdered sugar and a coffee in hand, we’ll learn about the neighborhood's rich history as it relates to New Orleans. At each stop, you’ll learn the history and what makes each store unique and special. at our second stop, we’ll follow that up with artisanal donuts at one of the best donut shops in New Orleans. After a short walk, we’ll have some super interesting seasonal beignets with various toppings and sauces which are unlike anything you’ve tried before. And finally, we’ll end up at our last stop we’ll have our last surprise on the tour. It’s sure to be a delicious and casual adventure you’re sure to enjoy.
