Overview

Visit three food stops that highlight New Orleans history through flavors on this guided walking tour of the Garden District. After a brief tour of the neighborhood's architecture & history, enjoy a full meal of unique Cajun and Creole specialties, spread out over 3 local eateries. Start at the Lafayette Cemetery to hear the unique funeral customs and traditions of New Orleans and the history of the city's early years. Then explore the architecture of the Garden District, home to historic mansions, colorful shotgun houses, and beautiful oak trees.
