Su & Michael, April 2026
"Michelle was extremely easy to listen to. She curated a unique experience off the beaten path and brought her own knowledge of history and humor to life. The size of the group was not too large, making it comfortable to follow, hear, and eat within a reasonable time. Her candor and authenticity made this a top notch experience, and we’d highly, highly recommend this experience!"

"Michelle is amazing! Very knowledgeable about the history. A fast, efficient tour guide, packs a lot into one tour. Will show you all the local good stuff, not the touristy, run-of-the-mill stuff. Loved this tour! Favorite of the trip!"

"Such a great time! Michelle gives an amazing history of the city. The foods we tried were modern and original spins on the city’s well known dishes. Took the tour with our 3 college kids and we all loved it so much! Every stop was delicious. It was the perfect combination of sightseeing, culture, and great food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the flavors and charm of New Orleans beyond the French Quarter!"

"Most of our family group had not been to New Orleans, but those that had, it had been 30 years or more. We all assumed the French Quarter was the only place to see here. We booked this tour for our first day, and are so glad we did. Michelle gave us a 45 min history of the city- we greatly appreciated the stories behind the historic homes. The tour completely opened our eyes to what the rest of the city has to offer. I highly recommend this tour, even if you’ve been to NOLA before and want to explore the rest of the city."

"This was amazing! The Garden District food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to NOLA. She was able to accommodate our 11 person bachelorette party along with vegetaria and gluten considerations. Her knowledge of New Orleans and its history was impressive and engaging. Add one of Michelle’s tours to your NOLA must do list!"

"Michelle was an amazing tour guide! She did a custom tour for a group of corporate clients that we were hosting for the day in New Orleans. The reason that we picked her was that we didn't want to do the usual touristy spots, we wanted it to feel more local, special and professional - that is exactly what she delivered on. We'll be using her for all our future client trips too!"

"Solo woman traveler here! Michelle was a wonderful tour guide who made the experience truly enjoyable. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and I absolutely loved her energy - her passion and positivity really stood out and made the tour memorable. The food stops were fantastic, all delicious. I definitely want to bring my family back so they can try them for themselves. I highly recommend this tour whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family.

"We had a girls weekend in NOLA and were thrilled to join Michelle’s tour. The group size was just right, and we enjoyed how she gave us local knowledge of New Orleans and the Garden District as we made our way through the various eating stops - po’ boys, empanadas (local style) and beignets. Not to mention local drinks too. A great adventure in food."

"Brewery Tour- as a non beer drinker I booked this for my partner. Don’t be put off if you don’t drink beer as I discovered that there are beers I loved from these quality brewers! Michelle was amazing - couldn’t have been more helpful and had a great knowledge of the area. She even recommended some entertainment spots for the evening which we’d never would have found."

"We loved our food tour with Michelle so much! It was the highlight of our family reunion trip. We learned a TON and had the best food we’ve had in NOLA. If you like old homes, fun facts, and yummy food...this is for you. Great for all ages :) Really happy our little crew decided to do this."

"Bon Moment/Michelle was one of the best parts of our trip to New Orleans. This felt like a fun hang out with a local friend who was a huge history buff. She went above and beyond by making herself available for our two person tour group amongst a jampacked July 4 weekend, very accommodating. I’m so thankful there’s opportunities like this for people to enjoy non-tourist parts of New Orleans. 10 out of 10, would recommend."

Micheal H., Jan 2026
"For our 50th anniversary, my wife and I brought our children and their spouses to New Orleans. We booked several tours, including this tour in the Garden District. Michelle was, by far, the best tour guide we’ve ever had! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans, and she shared it all with such warmth and enthusiasm. She was engaging, kind, and made everyone feel connected. We enjoyed wonderful conversations and shared stories about our own families. We wholeheartedly recommend it.
