Great Tour
Sun, Mar 14  2:00 PM Markjo4286 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We really enjoyed the tour. We learned a lot and had a really nice time. All of the food we tasted was delicious. We only wished we had taken it on our first day in New Orleans so that we would have had time to go back and eat at some of these places. We took it on our last day there. Also, I thought we were going to sample beignets at Cafe Dumond. So we avoided going there during our visit. We were disappointed to find out that there was no sample. It wasn't a huge deal...we just got on line and bought the beignets. It was just surprising as it was listed. Either way...take the tour! It was really a great time and worth the price!!

Sally was our guide. She gave us history of the region as well as culinary history. The tastings and experience were worth while. Sally was a gracious hostess. I highly recommend the tour.

Entertaining and educational. Our guide was fun and a great storyteller. We saw thing we never would have seen and there is no way we would have heard the history of both the restaurants and the food. We had a great time and it was definately worth the money and the time!

Tasty and Informative

This tour was true to the description. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a better idea about the evolution of NOLA's fabulous foods as well as history about NOLA and the Quarter. Our guide, Renee was knowledgable and never boring. She's well studied about NOLA and is a wealth of interesting tidbits. We toured some of NOLA's oldest establishments and learned behind the scenes details that would be missed during a normal reservation at dinnertime. Our tasting hosts and waitstaff were pleasant and accomodating (remember to tip for good service). Walking was minimal and tastings were ample. I'd suggest a lite lunch beforehand and scheduling a later dinner...you will be full! Do this, you won't be dissappointed!

Tip him!

George was very knowledgeable, not just about the food but the history of the city, so it was a two-for-one deal! We were a little worried because we wanted to do the tour at the beginning of our trip and it was sold out. But we still got to try new things that we hadn't yet experienced. We much appreciated that George didn't sell himself by requesting tips (as our other tour guides had done), so I'm doing it for him!

Great Tour
Sun, Mar 7  2:00 PM anniekelly Female 30-39 Combination Individual
Really enjoyed this tour! Great that our guide was a professional chef and New Orleans history buff - so we heard not only about the food (but the history and the way that it has been made for generations) together with seeing parts of the historical restaurants that we would never have seen as regular tourists! Food was delicious too!

I have been to NO many times but this is one of the first tours I have taken. It was excllent! Our tour guide was very knowledgeble and enthusiastic in her approach to both the food history and city history. I reccomended to some of my family already and will recommend to others. I plan on taking another when I go back. The resturaunts were excellent choices as well.

thoroughly enjoyable tour!!
Fri, Feb 19  2:00 PM devfan Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Our tour guide, Renee Dodge, had a vast knowledge of both Louisiana cuisine and local history and interesting customs and events.The time flew by , and the food was delicious!!!She took us into behind the scene activities in some of the most famous restaurants in the French Quarter, and gave us insight behind both Mardi Gras and New Orleans history. It was an afternoon well spent, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the cuisine and ambience of one of the most fascinating places in the country.

Great Tour. Don't eat before you go!
Sat, Feb 13  2:00 PM jmf10024 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This tour was very interesting and tasty. It was perfect for us because we scheduled it as our first thing when entering the city. This gave us a great introduction to the tastes and also some different parts of the French Quarter. The tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. One word of caution: Don't eat lunch right before you go on the tour. We stupidly ate lunch about an hour before the tour, thinking that the tour would be mostly talking and walking and not so much food. There was definitely enough food for a decent meal (though it was spread across a few hours). We were too full about half-way through to really enjoy the food on the second half. It was a great tour!

Thu, Feb 11  2:00 PM tommyguy Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We enjoyed a full afternoon hearing about the history of some New Orleans restaruants and the local cuisine and then got to sample some dishes in the restaurants as well. Our guide was enthusiastic and added lots of fun to the adventure. All in all, for my wife and me it was really a great time.

This is a good thing to do early in your trip. The combination of food and history is a good way to ease yourself into your trip.

This was a great tour. The chance to see the insides of some of the resturants and kitchens in the French quarter lived up to my expectations. The food was great. I will be back and take the a cajun cooking school class. John Adams
