   - A Must-Do
   Wednesday: Food Tours
   
   
   This food tour was well worth the time it took to drive to Avery Island and the $49 price tag. We visited five different locations, trying food at each. All of the food was delicious, and we left completely stuffed. Their was a relaxed, casual feel to the tour, and we loved our guide, George. We'll definitely do this tour again in the future!

5. 4.5 Avery island (91 reviews)
   - Tabasco tour & jungle drive

   Loved the tour and history of tabasco, from aging to bottling. Even the great gift shop full of Louisiana and Tabasco products (including tasting) was fun. The Jungle Garden drive (you can walk) was really lovely and included in the low price. It is a long drive from NOLA but worth it for us. This is a great product (Tabasco) and now we will enjoy it even more on our grocery shelves. The entry fee is very reasonable and even cheaper for vets or seniors. See more..
