Just did the Garden District food tour and it was amazing!

I went on the food and history tour last week, and wow! Michelle, our guide, was super knowledgeable and fun. The beignets were heavenly, and I loved learning about the mansions in the area. The alligator sausage at Dat Dog was surprisingly good! Definitely recommend it as a gift for foodies or anyone who loves New Orleans. Worth every penny!

Considering gifting the Garden District food tour - thoughts?

I’m thinking about buying this food tour as a gift for my parents. They love history and good food! Is it really as good as it sounds? How long does it usually last? Any tips for making it special?
