Welcome to Lafayette

In the heart of Louisiana’s Cajun and Creole Country, Lafayette is known for Cajun cuisine, Cajun and zydeco music, and letting the good times roll in the Happiest City in America. Lafayette was founded in the Gulf Coastal wetlands by late 18th-century French colonists, and Acadians exiled from Canada after France’s defeat in the Seven Years’ War. The life and culture of Louisiana’s Native Americans and the Acadian settlers comes alive at Vermilionville, a 23-acre living history museum and folklife park. Explore the landmarks of downtown Lafayette and nearby Baton Rouge, or make a trek into the swamps and scenic bayous of the Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge just ten miles to the east.

GREAT FOOD TOUR!
Cajun Food Bus Tour in Lafayette
GREAT FOOD TOUR!
Diehl1958, Nov 2023
This is our 3rd Cajun Food Tour and this time we enjoyed the tour with six family members! Have been talking about the tour for years and the family was not disappointed.We want to thank Jay for making our tour so enjoyable. The selection of stops and the Joe's knowledge made our tour something we will cherish for a long time.Three of the five stop were ones that we experience before, yet there were differences in the experience and the food. Just goes to show you that no matter how many times you tour with Cajun Food Tours, you will always have great time. Make sure you come hungry for the tour.Highly recommend this tour.

I learned a lot of history of Acadian people. It was fun to tour the old houses. I loved the herb garden with the signs of what the herbs were used for.

Cedric provided a wonderful tour. He was well informed about the history of Vermilionville. And as a bonus, the talented musician treated us to a couple creole tunes on a fiddle and primitive gourd banjo. Highly recommend.

The scavenger hunt was great! Downloading and using the app was not so much. It’s not very user friendly. I’d give it another go in a different city because l really like the concept. Great way to learn something and get some exercise.

This was a great experience filled with interesting places, historical facts and great photo opportunities. Everything was in walking distance and took about 2 hours.We had so much fun that we repeated the activity in New Orleans with the same good experiences.Scavenger Hunt is a great way to learn about a city and involve others in your group of friends and travel partners.
