Fabulous food, wonderful views, hilarious guide
This was an amazing tour and Jeff was such an amazing guide! We were a group of 14, but he went out of his way to make the process as seamless as possible despite taking on a larger group than normal. There was even a hilariously decorated bike for my partner’s birthday! The food was fabulous and Jeff told us so many interesting facts about the history and culture while eating. The last stop had a beautiful view of the Mississippi River while ate our po boys on some benches outside. If you want a fun tour of the beautiful neighborhoods while getting to experience good food as a local instead of a tourist, I would 100% recommend this experience, and tell Jeff we said hi!

Best Tour in New Orleans - Isabelle
Isabelle was our Tour Guide. In a word, WOW!!! She is so, so nice and incredibly knowledgeable of the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. She’s exceptionally knowledgeable of the city’s ties to France, Spain and Haiti.Isabelle also demonstrated great flexibility in the tour schedule when we asked her to show us the neighborhoods affected by Katrina. I’ll be honest, seeing the destruction and suffering it left behind left my wife and very emotional.My wife and I highly recommend Isabelle for your next tour. I promise you you will not find anyone better!Regards,James & Verna McCullom Phoenix, Arizona

French Quarter Food Tour

A Custom Intro to the French Quarter and it’s Foods
Brian was a great guide. He is both an author and a lover of history, and we learned a lot about New Orleans and the French Quarter during our time with him. The Sidewalk Food Tours team gave us input into the foods and locations we would visit, and the process for a private tour was flexible on timing as well. It was just the kind of intro to the Quarter that we were seeking. There is one change I would make with a do-over… I would evaluate the food options for both French Quarter and Garden District before making a decision on which tour to book. There could be more variety of options in the Garden tour. While Gumbo and Jambalaya have some significant differences, they are also very similar, and combining them in two hours is kind of heavy on rice, chicken and andouille sausage.

Excellent experience with Kindress for the Whitney plantation
Excellent experience with Kindrell for our tour of the Whitney plantation. Kindrell arrived to pick us up on time and was very polite and professional. He had extensive knowledge of the local area and stopped by the local plantations on our way to and from the Whitney plantation. We were even able to get a photo opportunity infront of Oak Alley plantation where Beyonce shot her music video. I learned alot and had a great time. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing way to see the city!
Absolutely fantastic way to see New Orleans and get out of the French Quarter! Our guide was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and stopping in shaded spots - it was a melting August day!! Very leisurely cycle, with heaps of information on the route. We loved it and would actually do it again next time we visit :) Thank you!
