Gastric decadence in NOLA on Market St . - The foodie tour of Market St was a great insight to the local cuisine. Tylyn was our guide and incredibly knowledgeable of the food scene and local history. In our feelings the tour was a bargain. We were introduced to local variations of the regions menu. It changed my opinion of NO from a previous self guided trip. Highly recommend Tylyn@NOSecretsTours for any visit to New Orleans.

Super secrets learned on food tour! - We had a terrific time on the insiders food tour and visited a number of exceptional restaurants that served some of the finest Louisiana food we experienced while in New Orleans. Tour guide Adelai was funny, interesting and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Top Notch NOLA Food Tour - Our group of 16 had a fantastic food tour with Mark in November 2024. We were afraid that we wouldn't be able to visit classic and sometimes small New Orleans joints with our large group, but New Orleans Secrets seamlessly divided us into two groups, each with their own guide. That allowed us to visit their usual, less-touristy spots for New Orleans classic dishes. We even met up as a large group at our first and last stops. The tour was filled with New Orleans history, food facts, and recommendations that we used for eating and drinking during the rest of our trip. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to eat great food and learn about the city's food culture. The guides really know their stuff!

Favorite of 3 NOLA tours...love EJ - We LOVED this tour, our favorite of three. Our guide EJ was a former history teacher and his stories were fantastic. So much enthusiasm for the area .... we were ready to look for real estate. Ad the food ... omg ... so delicious. Starting with the first bite to the last, all were delicious. Highly recommend this tour through the very cool Garden District. We spent prior night a bit overwhelmed by Bourbon Street excess the night before so our time on this tour truly made us fall in loe with NOLA.

Must do Tour!!!!! - This tour was absolutely amazing! Mark our tour guide was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable about the food and culture of New Orleans. Not only did we eat some really delicious food but we learned a lot as well. The restaurants that were chosen were done so very wisely and gave a great variety and really showed how much range New Orleans food culture has. If you’re going to do an activity in New Orleans this is it. Please come hungry cause your going to leave full. 10 out of 10 highly recommended.

What a blast! - This tour was so cool! It was actually in my neighborhood, and so I learned more history about my own area than I already knew! Ty was a great tour guide, extremely knowlegeable and also willing to accept my additional tidbits of New Orleans history. What's most fascinating about this tour is that I CANNOT tell you what I ate because the tour changes daily based on what's open or closed! There is plenty of seafood and if you are simply avoiding gluten, you can work around it. If you're truly celiac, this might not be the best tour for you. Otherwise, meat-eaters, pescaterians and vegetarians can all be accommodated overall, with advance notice! We ate so much food that it was a 5 course full meal. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE TASTING MENU! You will eat generous portions!!! And, you can sample drinks (for extra) in most places. It's so much fun and it's a short 1/2 mile walking tour. It's fabulous! I highly recommend it and plan to bring more of my guests and visitors to this tour!

Perfect combo of Food, History and Culture - We took the New Orleans Secrets Food Tour and were hoping to taste a few different restaurants in New Orleans and I must say this tour far exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide, EJ, was well versed in the culture and history of Louisiana and New Orleans, explained the dishes in detail, helped us get to know how the city was structured currently and historically, discussed the each restaurant in detail as well as the different cuisines it is known for. I do not want to spoil the surprises with the dishes, but let me tell you to bring your appetite! Be prepared to be wowed by these chefs! I have been to New Orleans before, and I appreciated the creative takes on some of the New Orleans staples. We had food allergies and environmental allergies to contend with, and EJ and his team accommodated us all without a hitch! The food was flavorFUL, the portions were generous, so much so that we were embarrassed to be too full towards the end of the tour. Please prepare because you will want to make it to the end! If you are looking for a way to eat creative culinary dishes, learn about the history and culture of New Orleans and have a fun and laid back time, this is the absolute best tour you could book! Highly recommend!
