Great tour. Learned a lot of history throughout the food samples. I enjoyed almost everything, glad we booked it. My only complaint was that the guide had us start late because we were waiting on other guests even through the email made it clear we start on time. We were 15 minutes early like suggested, so we waited for close to 30 minutes.

Food and drinks were great but the history provided by our guide was the greatest. Left understanding much more about New Orleans and the origin of the food and drink we were enjoying.

A group of us went on the Cocktail & Food tour the day after Halloween, hungover and exhausted from partying for 3 days, but Dr. Gumbo soon lifted our spirits (no pun intended). We had an absolute blast trying all the different foods and drinks, and Dr Gumbo is super knowledgeable about local history and culture and a fantastic tour guide. By the end of the tour we were all re-energized and ready to go again. We would definitely love to do one of his tours again the next time we're in Nola! Highly recommended! (we did our tour in 2020 but TripAdvisor doesn't allow selecting dates from prior years)
