It can be difficult to... - It can be difficult to hear the tour guide since there can be lots of noise around. A portable speaker would help the tourists and guide. Overall the choices of restaurants was on par and we felt we were getting an authentic experience. Nate knew the area well, and had a great sense of humor! His philosophy of “try it” went a long way, as I was a little hesitant to experience certain foods. I ended up enjoying everything I ate!

Food Tour - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Do Experience in New Orleans! If you’re heading to New Orleans and want to truly experience the city—its rich history, culture, and quirks—Tour with Nate is the way to go! From the very beginning, Nate’s energy, passion, and deep love for New Orleans were infectious. He doesn’t just give you facts—he tells stories. Stories that bring the streets to life, make the architecture speak, and connect you to the soul of the city. What sets Nate apart is his ability to weave together the city’s vibrant past with its living, breathing present. He knows the famous landmarks, of course, but it was the hidden gems—the off-the-beaten-path spots, the local lore, the small details you’d never notice on your own—that made this tour truly unforgettable. Nate’s humor, charisma, and down-to-earth style made us feel like we were exploring the city with a super-knowledgeable friend. He welcomed questions, shared personal insights, and gave amazing recommendations that we ended up using for the rest of our trip. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving every person on his tour an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your first time in New Orleans or your tenth, don’t miss the chance to explore it with Nate. It’s not just a tour—it’s a celebration of everything that makes this city magical.
