Nikki did a great job taking us to some of the best restaurants in the garden district. The fried bologna sandwich from turkey and wolf was to die for.

Little Havannah of New Orleans. 🤷♀️
Brian was fantastic, knowledgeable, and awesome. Food picks were perfect. Totally different and exciting. Great places that the average tourist would probably wouldn’t know to go to. I would only mention to the people who don’t like mayo, mustard, or sauces to just let him know in advance to get put on the side. I just scraped it off and it still was fantastic!!!!!

5 starts isn’t enough!
Our guide Brian was FABULOUS! Super knowledgeable about the places we were visiting and the food! Food was delicious at every stop! Each spot was vastly different from one another, but also meshed very well. We actually loved one of the places so much we went back the next day to order food to take home with us! I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
