Citywide Driving Tour with a Jazz Musician
Sightseer24329625265, Sep 2026
Amazing and educational tour!
Quay was an amazing tour guide! I learned a lot about the culture and history of New Orleans. My favorite parts were the Musician’s Village, beautiful architectures and murals, and music bars like The Spotted Cat. We also stopped by the city park area and ate beignets at Cafe Du Monde, which were delicious! Lastly, we got a glimpse of the French Quarter through Bourbon St. which looked so fun. I definitely recommend him and this tour!

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!

A Custom Intro to the French Quarter and it’s Foods

French Quarter Food Tour
ChrisG80218, Sep 2026
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.

Slow Roll with Danny
New York City
New Orleans Creole History and Culture Ride
430susanp, Aug 2026
Slow Roll with Danny
This was my third tour with Danny. I love to take my friends and family visiting New Orleans on this tour because Danny gives such a phenomenal history of the Treme, Marigny, and surrounds. He is wise and funny. The biking is easy- a very slow roll, no busy streets. Cars are rare. You end up in a tavern for sustenance- a place where you or your group will take the best picture. Ask Danny for restaurant recommendations and he will give you a list long enough to keep you returning to New Orleans for decades. Just do it!

First and foremost, the food! ❤️ Our tour guide, Mark, curated the most delightful selection of dishes that gave us such a wonderful taste of New Orleans! Every stop was delicious, but what made the experience truly special was Mark himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culinary culture of New Orleans, but went above and beyond by teaching us about the history, traditions, and Southern culture woven into the city’s food. Mark was personable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing his city with others. A delicious little journey through the heart and history of New Orleans 👍🏻👍🏻
