TeachMe Tours

We did the Magazine Street Foodie Tour, and Angela and Mark, out tour guides, were both great. Enthusiastic, responsive, and very friendly. I wish, however, that our group was smaller than 11 people. We ended up being seated at different tables always, so some groups got some explanations or random information tidbits, while others didn’t.
That being said, I loved almost all of the food stops we made, and I appreciate that we tried different food items than I would have expected.
Stop 1 — Joey K’s — red beans and rice (⁵⁄₅), jambalaya (³⁄₅), and eggplant Napoleon (5+/5).
Stop 2 — Basin Seafood and Spirits — charbroiled oysters (5+/5) and crab/​crawfish beignets (⁴⁄₅). We also paid extra for a recommended cocktail here, The Good Life, and it was a ⁵⁄₅.
Stop 3 — Mahoney’s — roast beef Po Boy (⁴⁄₅). This one stop took a full hour though, for ¼ piece of Po Boy. While the sandwich was ok, it definitely was not worth the time, and I think they need to re-​think this place as one of the food stops.
Stop 4 — Dat Dog — alligator sausage dog topped with shrimp étouffée in a potato bun (⁴⁄₅) and local beer Canebrake (⁴⁄₅).
Stop 5 — Sucre — Charlie Brown and S’more gelato (⁵⁄₅).
Of all the tours I’ve taken in New Orleans, this one actually taught me the least, but since I walked away with a content stomach and a plethora of new restaurants to explore, I still left happy.

I visited New Orleans for the first time this past week and weekend, and took a French Quarter walking tour with James, and it was spectacular. James is so knowledgeable about the history of the city, which for a history buff like myself made the tour one of the top things I loved about my visit. I would definitely take additional tours with teachmetours based on this experience, James was Awesome!

Enthusiastic Guides, Fun Tours, Great Food & Drink
We ended up taking 4 of the tours offered by this company on our last New Orleans visit. We planned 2 in advance and added on a couple more after we got to see how good they were.
We started with the «French Quarter History & Cocktail Tour». What I liked about this tour compared to similar ones given by other companies is that you just pay a lower price for the tour and then buy your own cocktails as you go. So, if you aren’t a heavy drinker, you can share a drink at one of the bars.
Our next one was the «Nightlife & History Tour». We went to several interesting night spots for a reasonable price. We could have potentially gone to these on our own. But at each place the bar had a space reserved for us which was really nice.
Next we did the «Oyster Tour». We visited 5 restaurants and tried 7 different preparations. That was a lot of fun. All but one preparation were cooked, so you shouldn’t be scared off if you just don’t like raw oysters.
Finally, we went on their «Magazine Street Foodie Tour». Magazine Street is several miles long. They picked out a stretch of just 6 or so blocks where we could sample various New Orleans specialties.
The owners of the company, Mark and Angela, are the primary guides as well. They’ve worked hard to put together thoughtful, fun and interesting tours. I would highly recommend their company.

Our group went on the Foodie tour on magazine street. Food was amazing! Tour was fabulous. Would highly recommend!

We took the voodoo tour on Halloween morning and absolutely loved it! Our tour guide was James who was a plethora of information. He was very entertaining, too. The tour was very personable, and we had access to museums and shops that other tours don’t. James even hung out patiently for awhile afterwards to chat more about the subject if we had more questions. If you’re going to New Orleans, TeachMe Tours is definitely the way to go! We’ve done other tours here where there were just too many people and you lose a lot of the i donation. Be sure to ask for James! He’s definitely the best tour guide we’ve ever had, hands down!

My daughter and I really enjoyed the Magazine Street Food Tour. It’s a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, try many regional dishes and learn more about the city of New Orleans. Angela made us feel very welcome as did the wait staff, chefs and hostesses at the restaurants we stopped at. Loved the Eggplant Napolean at JoeyK’s and the char grilled oysters at Basin. Enjoyed shopping on Magazine Street after the tour (and walking off some of the delicious food!) We took the bus (short bus ride, I think it’s $ 1.25) from the French Quarter and walked back…

James took us through the Garden District tour and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Over two hours of thoughtful history, engaging stories and a New Orleans charm. We laughed and learned while taking in the sights of the beautiful Garden District. James knew his history, knew his architecture and his audience. I was delighted with the entire tour from Lafayette #1 cemetery to the house formerly owned by Nick Cage. A wonderful adventure. Definitely a fresh treat and not the tired old tours you see around. I could not recommend highly enough.

Where to start… I cannot say enough good about Mark and Angela. We had never been to New Orleans so we knew we wanted to take a fun tour, but when I went to book one of the top «popular» tour guide services for the area, they were sold out. Then I found Teach Me Tours, and they had an opening for a group of 4 of us to join a tour. Little did I know it would be a PRIVATE tour with just the 4 of us! We had so much fun! Angela and Mark took turns telling us about different historical places along our route and made stops at the most interesting places, that you would have never thought to go in! They offer a variety of tours of the city, including a FOODIE TOUR! Which I’m sad to say, we ran out of time to do that one. If you are looking for a tour of the area, DEFINITELY check these guys out!

Great food at every stop and lots of it. Angela was very informative. Loved the tour! Definitely recommend.

I recently visited New Orleans with my best friend Brittany. We researched the food tour via TripAdvisor and out of all the tours listed, this one was the one that most people enjoyed. Everyone was CORRECT. This food tour was amazing. Mark and Angela provide a beautiful experience complete with New Orleans history, cultural traditions and a plethora of wonderful cuisine. This was my first trip to New Orleans and this tour is something that I would recommend to everyone whether a first time visitor or frequent traveler. In addition, Mark and Angela are very helpful; they keep in contact even after the tour has ended. Angela and I emailed the very next day and I felt like I will always know someone in the amazing Crescent City. I will visit New Orleans in the very near future and I definitely will remember all the restaurants that I experienced while on this tour. Awesome-​SAUCE!

My wife and I took the voodoo tour, ghost tour and the magazine street food tour and all three were awesome. We met James who did the voodoo and ghost tour and he was a wealth of knowledge, not just about the tour specifics but about the city and where to eat as well, he guided us to some of the best food we have had. We met Angela on the foodie tour and she was also a wealth of information about the history of the city and had five awesome places to eat! If we ever make it back to New Orleans we would definetly use them again and recomend them to anyone.

We did the food tour with a group of twelve. The food at each spot was amazing. The tour guide, Angela, was great, very friendly, and the information on each stop was actually very interesting. Highly recommended!

This was the highlight of my families trip to New Orleans. If you have 2 – 3 hours to spare and want to try a real taste of New Orleans this is a must trip. My kids are both 14 years old and had an amazing fun time with Mark and Angela. If I could give 10 stars… I would! I may have to skip dinner now we are all so full.

TeachMe Tours provided a nighttime «ghost» tour for our large group when we were in New Orleans. We were a group of 90 people, and Angela & co. went over and above to ensure our needs were met. Each tour guide was extremely informative, and our guests walked away feeling thoroughly entertained but also much more knowledgeable about the city! Angela helped with restaurant suggestions, and securing a pedi-​cab company for us to work through as well. She really is a great partner to work with :-) Thank you!

We went on the French Quarter History and Cocktail Tour. Angela was a very informative guide. We were able to get a look at some back rooms of the restaurants we visited. You could go have a drink at these bars on your own, but you would miss a lot of the history. We would highly recommend this tour!

Took this tour with my sister on our trip this past weekend, and it was definitely the highlight of our trip! Mark and Angela are very friendly, fun and knowledgeable about all things Nawlins! All the places Mark and Angela chose were fantastic and each one more delicious than the last. My sister and I even went back to Magazine street the next day to eat at some of the places we tried.
Highly recommend this tour for everyone wanting to see more of New Orleans than just the ‘usual’.
Thanks Mark and Angela!

We took the Magazine Street tour on a rainy Thursday and it could not have been better! My nieces, who had never been to NOLA, gave me very long hugs thanking me for this tour. Angela is so passionate and clearly had carefully picked the stops. The food was all very, very, very good and each stop had it own very special New Orleans flair. We all had different favorites. I think at one point my youngest niece went into a food coma. It was so much fun and educational. She knows her stuff. I have been on at least a dozen food tours across the country and consider myself discerning about food and experience. This was fine indeed. I would highly recommend her and TeachMe Tours. My only disappointment is not to be able to take more! Next visit, for sure! Thanks, Angela!

The absolute highlight of our trip! You really cannot go wrong with this tour. My husband and I took the cocktail and French Quarter history tour and Angela was so informative. We walked around the French Quarter while she pointed stuff out to us, and educated us on the city, and it was stuff we where walking past and never would have thought to take a second glance at. We stopped at some great places and had signature drinks that originated from New Orleans. She gave us recommendations for other stuff to do while we where visiting which actually we did (New Orleans school of cooking) and that was another highlight of our trip that we enjoyed so much.
I have already recommended this tour to three people and have already started planning our next trip to New Orleans, and this will definitely be our next go to tour!
