Overview

Discover the Romance and Flavors of New Orleans on a Food and History Tour with a Local Guide.

Close to the St. Charles streetcar, you'll meet your host Michelle at Lafayette Cemetery and discuss the history with her. Then it's on to the food at the next 3 stops! Enjoy a favorite neighborhood eatery for a taste of the Italian and Creole roots of the city.
