Wow, this was such a great tour. Michelle is so knowledgeable and made this a special day. It is a much better reflection of the real New Orleans than the touristy French Quarter.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Michelle really connected with us and taught us useful information. The places she selected for us to eat were fantastic. I wouldn't have eaten some of the items on my own, but I'm really glad she had us try them! Definitely a unique experience and worth the price. Would highly recommend!

We had so much fun! Michelle showed us around an area of New Orleans that we didn’t know anything about. She had so much knowledge on local spots and we loved all her suggestions for things to do. Definitely a must if you’re coming to New Orleans!

It was a wonderful experience from the perspective of a local, and we really got to know each other! Michelle was so much fun and by the end of the day we were basically just a group of friends hanging out, more than just a tour guide leading a group of tourists. Awesome experience!

What an amazing experience! Michelle was a phenomenal guide and thought of every detail. The food and spirits were delicious and we felt like we were able to see things and go places we never would have known existed. Highly Recommend!

This was by far the best part of our trip to New Orleans. Michelle shared history and culture beyond the touristy parts of NOLA. She was personable and easy going; honestly it felt like hanging out with an old friend for the afternoon. The po-boys were legit amazing. She exposed us to a variety of local places that we never would have seen if not for her. It was so so much fun!

Michelle was the absolute best! We went on many different tours through out the weekend while we were there, and Michelle's tour was our favorite. He knowledge of location goes above and beyond. You always hear people say, "yea I am from around here." but Michelle truly was. She showed us her families tomb at the end of the tour in the cemetery, and the neighborhoods were stunning that we walked through. Food choices were scrumptious too.

This was such an amazing tour! We felt like we were in a casual setting, with Michelle being a friend showing us her city and things she loves. It was a great experience, filled with a ton of delicious food and awesome history and information on Nola culture! We would definitely recommend this and would do it again!

My boyfriend and I were the only two on the tour the day we went. It felt like a group of friends out for a few hours just exploring. She was very helpful in answering any questions we had! We loved everything from the cemetery tour to all the places she took us to eat. We would have never stopped in if we hadn’t been with her. Everything we ate was wonderful, I think the kicker was the homemade sausage place. My boyfriend loved it so much we went back after our tour a few days later to try some different ones. She pointed out a few shops to check out after we were done with the tour and we actually got a lot of stuff from local artists! I’m honestly glad it was just the 3 of us I felt really relaxed and had a wonderful time. I hope the next time we’re in town we can do her other microbrewery tour!

We had an awesome experience with Michelle. She knew so much of the local history and the local experience that we would have never been able to replicate on our own. She didn’t try to rush anything and she made us feel very comfortable. We thought it was an excellent value and certainly do another one of her tours the next time we come down.

Michelle made our first NOLA experience unforgettable. It was truly one of the best decisions we made when planning our trip. We have recommended the food tour with Michelle to friends and family who may visit NOLA in the future. We hope to hang out with Michelle again. Her enthusiasm and cultural vibe was a special treat for us to experience. We thank her for making our vacation fun and educational.
