Our guide did not over indulge us with history or food....just the right amount of each. We have taken food trips around the world and thus one was great. Food was awesome...king cakes and champagne to start and beignets to end...could I'd be better. Oh yeah..Mardi grass parade premier setting.

We enjoyed the guided tour and quality of the restaurants and the food sampled. This is a wonderful way to see parts of Mobile that we're sure we would not normally see. What a wonderful idea for the area.
Thank you Chris and Laney for a marvelous time.

I really enjoyed this food tour. I loved the rich history of Mobile. I enjoyed being exposed to new food and trying something new. The husband and wife team were super friendly. I loved talking to them and meeting new people. The champagne and king cake rocked. I enjoyed having a private area to watch the parade. I am looking forward to taking the other tours they offer.

This was an awesome tour. The portions were more than ample. We were stuffed full at the end of the tour. We really enjoyed being able to watch the afternoon parades from the front porch of the house. The guides were excellent.

One of the best things to do in Mobile. Excellent food and actually received more food than I thought we would. Very reasonable price. Excellent hosts. We will definitely be doing more of these tours in your future.

Based on other trip advisor reviews, booked this tour with 3 Minnesota friends. It was worth it! Got some fun facts about Mobile and Mardi Gras, plus tastes of some fun Mobile food. The drink package for an extra $10 gave us a fun tropical run drink, a vodka strawberry lemonade, a bloody Mary and champagne. A cute husband and wife operate this business and do a great job. We even got King Cake and champagne at the end to watch the parade with. Now I want to do the LoDa tour.

This tour was one of the best I have taken. It would be fun with a friend or solo. We got to explore Mobile and learn about Mardi Gras as well as taste local cuisine. Laney and Chris were wonderful guides and the time passed so quickly.
The food tour gave us ideas on where to take friends and family when they visited. We are snowbirds but the locals on our group said they were told things they didn’t know about the history.
We topped off the day with a parade, Champagne and King Cake. Thanks again Laney and Chris!!!!!!
