Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this food and history tour?

A: No age limit! The tour is great for adults, but kids are welcome too. Just keep in mind that the food and drink tastings might be more geared towards adult palates, though they can definitely accommodate younger guests. The guide is really good at making it fun for everyone!

Q: What should I wear for the Bywater tour? Is it casual?

A: Totally casual! I wore a tank top and shorts, which was perfect for the weather in New Orleans. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking a lot. A hat and sunscreen are also a good idea!

Q: Can I reschedule the tour if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule as long as you give them a heads up. Just reach out to Bon Moment NOLA directly, and they’re super accommodating. I had to change my date, and they handled it smoothly. Just check their policy for any specific timelines.

Just went on the Bywater food tour and it was AMAZING!

So I just did the New Orleans Best of Bywater food and history tour last week, and wow! The po-boy sandwich was to die for, and I loved learning about the art scene. The guide was super knowledgeable about the history, especially the Plessy v. Ferguson site. I went with my partner and we both said it was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting NOLA!

Considering gifting the Bywater tour, any advice?

I’m thinking of buying the Bywater food tour for my parents who are going to New Orleans next month. They love trying new foods and learning about history. Is it worth it? What’s the best time to go? Any tips would be great!
