Tastefully Traveled: Signature Gems in Marigny & Bywater

Taste your way through the Bywater/Marigny with us — a New Orleans culinary connoisseur and a travel guru — on a flavorful, story-filled journey. From cozy cafés to innovative bistros, you'll experience the dishes that define this eclectic food scene while hearing our stories as locals. • Kick off your experience with a visit to a hidden gem nestled inside Hotel Peter & Paul. Sip on a welcome cocktail and take in the serene charm of the courtyard, all while savoring a seasonal small plate—like smoked Gulf fish dip or charred okra—that perfectly sets the tone for the flavorful journey ahead. • Next, indulge in a steaming bowl of rich, roux-based New Orleans-style gumbo at a hot spot that blends Creole comfort with Korean flavors. It’s soulful and the perfect dish to spark conversation and connection. • Wrap the tour on the sweetest note—because we don’t believe in bland endings. Treat yourself to a praline-stuffed beignet or cool off with a craft snowball bursting with artisanal flavors—both by bold, woman-owned spots serving up sugar, charm, and Southern pride. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for one of the city’s most enticing food scenes — and the passionate locals who are bringing it to life, one bite at a time.

Spirits - The Cocktail And Ghost Crawl

I found my success as a guide, with a belief that the best tours are craft, even a bit of art. Let me help you connect with the great city of New Orleans, by sharing tales of old and examining its drinking legacy. We’ll walk cobbled alleys, and listen to ghost stories as classic as the libations you'll be sipping upon. I've created an evening of documented ghosts, city history, drinking yarns, and Voodoo. I'll tie it all together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show. Yet, there will be no capes, no blurry photos, and no vampire tales - fabricated to suck the blood from your wallet. I use stories that are historically sourced – which makes this tour far more frightening. By using actual stories, from the cultures that created this city, you will begin to unravel what makes New Orleans so special. This event is an alternative to the stock NOLA ghost tour or haunted pub crawl, you've been endlessly scrolling through. The tour is designed for the curious, people who wish to understand the places they visit and share drinks with fellow travelers. Don't confuse this with the party-crawls. This is a professional drinking event - a genuinely full tour. Drinks are extra & not required : Size 15

Streets of Sin Tour - True Crime / Dark History Experience

This is a tour for adults only (17+). Streets of Sin doesn't pull punches on the grim and gory details of the stories you'll hear.

The city’s sinister energy is buried deep inside every brick, nail, piece of steel and wood that makes up what is known as the Streets of Sin. On any given night you may hear stories about Notorious Sex Workers, Mafia, Love Gone Wrong, Wicked Fires, Conspiracy, Human Torture and Twisted Murder...the stories are always evolving. This experience will immerse you into the deep Sin of New Orleans on levels no movie, podcast or other tour could ever imagine. Leave behind all the partying and music for a bit and join us on the “Empire of Sin/Way of the Wicked Walking Tour.” **The 9am "Coffee with Killers" experience includes a coffee stop. Your choice of Coffee/Tea/Hot Chocolate included.** The tour covers approximately a mile of distance over 1.5 hours, but you won't be counting steps.
