About this tour

Discover how New Orleans tells its story through food on this six-hour Creole food tour. Begin in the city’s oldest food marketplace with coffee and a praline-stuffed beignet, then sample New Orleans-style iced coffee, Gulf oysters or boudin, and muffuletta.

Follow streets lined with Creole cottages into the Marigny, where alligator meatballs offer another taste of the city. Along the way, pass landmarks connected to rock ’n’ roll, R&B, and Tremé’s African American history, and meet community members who keep Creole traditions alive. Stop for lunch at Lil Dizzy’s, known for its gumbo, then try seafood by the pound, including crawfish when in season, and enjoy a drink at a neighborhood bar. A praline or snoball brings the tasting to a sweet close, with the possibility of a parade or a classic New Orleans downpour along the way.

Join this New Orleans Creole food tour to connect neighborhood history, local voices, and memorable flavors in one generous day of tasting.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 22 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New Orleans
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.1. Top 20% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 20% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
