Overview

This two-and-a-half-hour walking tour in New Orleans starts at Jackson Square, where the guide waits beside the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson facing St. Louis Cathedral. The group then walks to the French Market, America’s oldest public market, to sample local foods and learn about the area's multicultural history and culture. After spending about 30 minutes there, the tour continues with a guided walk through approximately 14 blocks of the French Quarter and Old Town, covering about 1.5 miles at a relaxed pace with frequent stops. During the walk, participants taste five food samples representing Cajun and Creole cuisine, such as a beignet, gumbo, and a Po'boy sandwich. There is also a hot sauce tasting that includes information about Louisiana’s spice traditions. The total amount of food is intended to equal a full meal, though food options and portion sizes may vary depending on the day and season. The guide can offer recommendations for vegetarian or special dietary needs, but substitutions may not be available at all stops. Children under 4 can join free, and there is a reduced price for children aged 4 to 11. Tips for the guide are not included.
