 Verified Our Very First Food Tour…and not our last
We recently went on the Original Cajun Food tour. The occasion: our grandson (from Kentucky) was in town and even though he has grown up visiting us, now that he is older, he wanted to experience more food unique to our area. And it was our very first food tour! We have lived in Lafayette for 43 years, and I learned so much about how our food became unique. Be sure and come hungry because you will be stuffed when you finish. Marie was our guide and she gave us a great history behind the foods and also told us some unique stories. It was SO much fun! We traveled in a comfortable van, and as we traveled to each venue, Marie pointed out various places, some historical, about the area. We were given bottled water and had the option to purchase different beverages at each stop. We also were given some nice souvenirs to bring home. We were given ample time at each stop to eat, go to the restroom.

We had a fabulous time visiting five local eateries. Our friends from out-of-state really enjoyed the Cajun cuisine. Our driver, Jay, filled us in with lots of local information which was very interesting.

 Verified Must Do Tour in Lafayette
I highly recommend this tour! The 5 stops food choices were fantastic . Loved each stop!! In addition to great food our tour guide, Whitney, did an exceptional job. We learned Acadiana history which was very interesting. The tour company works with numerous restaurants in the Lafayette area so we would do the tour again and probably try completely different food. If you get a chance take this tour!!

 Verified History and Food in Cajun Country
This was my third Cajun food tour. They are very informative by giving a lot of history of the surrounding area and a history of the food that is synonymous with the Cajun culture. We then try some of the foods known in Cajun country. An excellent introduction to those unfamiliar with some of our history and food in south Louisiana.

 Verified Fun, tasty & interesting
We had only a day in Lafayette & we chose this tour cause we’re foodies. So much more than tasty food! Jay is an outstanding guide, giving us history about the area, food & people. Don’t think we could ask him anything he couldn’t answer! The 5 stops were historic & unique…the staff loved having us. Food was authentic to the area & small portions were just right. The bus was large & comfortable. All in all, great choice!

 Verified We would go again!
We have taken this tour twice and would do it again!! Went to different places this time and enjoyed them all. Marie was very accommodating and a great communicator since we knew they probably wouldn’t have enough for the tour at this time of year. Jay was a great guide and maneuvered the bus safely as we tooled from place to place.

 Verified Cajun Food Tour
Marie has a real passion for history and the food in this region. I enjoyed eating the selection of food and the history behind it, Marie was a good story teller! We ate Gumbo with potato salad, shrimp po-boys, chicken cracklins, boudin, smoked sausage, smoked oysters (my favorite), alligator and king cake. You will not go away hungry!

 Verified Brilliant food tour
Amazing morning in the suburbs with Whitney … this is a class business who know how to look after visitors and are an important part of the community and the Lafayette story. The food was excellent but the story telling and “ joie de vivre” were just as important . I can completely recommend spemding three hours with this company

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my goodness! What a fun afternoon! Our friend Paula and my husband Art & I rode with Whitney today on the Cajun Food Tour. We had never been in Lafayette before. Whitney not only knew all about the Cajun food but also the history of the area. All of the food was so delicious and the trip was well worth the cost. We learned new French words and laughed a lot. We could barely waddle away from the little bus when we were finished. We highly recommend Cajun Food Tours!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I  booked a cajun food tour for my husbands birthday.  We had a group of 12 people.  We all had so much fun.  The food stops were just long enough and all the food was really good.  It was such a fun experience, we would do again.  Jay our guide was a lot of fun too.  I recommnd this to everyone looking for fun with friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing tour! You always run the risk of a tour just taking you to a bunch of tourist traps, but this felt like a true local experience. And of course the food was amazing. If you're spending several days in Lafayette make sure you do this first because you'll leave with a list of places you'll want to eat at.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of participating in the Original Cajun Food Tour a few days ago with my family. Marie, the owner, was out tour guide and she was amazing!  The tour is 3 hours long and you go to five different eateries.  The history, food, and company were fantastic.  I highly recommend this unique experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started a refreshing tour at 10:00 AM, and since I’m not from the Louisiana area, I was excited to finally try some of the local cuisine. Everything felt locally owned, and the food was superb.

I also really enjoyed the bus itself—the interior was comfortable, and the staff seemed well prepared for their guests. The bus was especially great for the Louisiana heat, staying comfortable throughout the ride. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, which set the tone for a truly enjoyable experience.

Our bus driver was both courteous and well informed about the local and state cuisine, which added a lot of value to the tour.

Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and would take it again when family comes to visit from out of state.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our group of 8 friends absolutely loved the food tour conducted by Whitney on July 14th. The food and service at every establishment was first class and Whitney was the best host/driver/guide.  Most in our group had never experienced a food tour and everyone intends on returning to Cajun Food Tours. Y’all give them a try!  It will be a blast - I promise!!
