New Orleans Culinary History Tours

Our guide, whom I think her name is Mary, was wonderful. She made it a very fun and informative trip and took her time with each stop and explained the history as well as the history of the food in each location. We learned about foods that we had never tasted before such as remoulade. She even shared how she was personally experimenting which gave us some good ideas for when we got home. We would take the tour again if she is also included as the guide

Need to coordinate the places visited so they are more in line with less walking around.

I highly recommend this tour. Renee, our guide, was full of info and fun facts. We signed up originally because we wanted to try the food, but we loved everything she taught us about the history of the food and the town and the restaurants specifically. I think everyone should experience New Orleans through this tour....it was a great way to get a lot of great food and knowledge in when you are only there for a short weekend. I recommended this tour to 4 people that same weekend and would tell anyone reading this......Definitely a MUST DO!!

A walking tour that centered around food but included history of the area, the buildings and tidbits of facts. My husband 72 years old, had no difficulty keeping up, with plenty of places to sit and rest. Recommend Sandy highly.

The tour had a fantastic pace- not too fast, not too slow... we were enthusiastically guided, and welcomed at each business we stopped at. Lots of great variety. Highly recommend!

Our guide was fabulous and shared so much information! The pace of the tour was a good one. We had good interaction within our group. All the restaurants we stopped at were very hospitable

We thought the varied sampling of different NO dishes was quite well planned. Our tour guide, I think it was Michael, originally from New York, was extremely good.

We were in a group of 12, so we were all able to hear and ask questions. Each establishment that we visited was well worth the visit! It gave us a good history of the establishments' place in New Orleans, and the food tasted was excellent! Our guide was Candi and she did a remarkable job of accommodating each one of us! It was a good way to familiarize yourself to the area with her guidance. Thanks for the great tour!!

It is a very informative culinary tour, with great samples of food and a lot of history about a great city. A must do if visiting for the first time or if you've been before I still think it's great because you get to go behind the scenes of some really nice restaurants with lots of history.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We went to some of the most exclusive restaurants in the French Quarter. We went to 7 different establishments and were given sample foods at each one. The food was delicious. We also were able to tour each restaurant and see private dining rooms the general public would not see. I would recommend the tour to anyone.

The tour guide herself was delightful and knowledgible and the food along the way was fantastic. Be prepard though as you will not be served a beverage with the tastings. Make sure to either bring your own or hit the bar before you start. Also, we were disappointed in that our first tasting was at Antoine's were we not allowed to touch the table; where we were seated at for approximately 30 minutes, because it was already set for dinner service. Really, how long does it take to set a table? The staff at Antoine's could not do this after we cleared the room? Other than this, all of the restaurants were accomadating and we did get to see areas of the restaurants you would normally not see if just going for a meal and being seated.

Annette made the tour very enjoyable with her historical antidotes about New Orleans culture and cuisine. The food samplings were delicious. Highly recommend!

I loving be a tourist in my own city and have taken quite a few tours. This culinary tour is by far the best one ever. I really did not know what to expect--thought we might even try cooking, but it was better. I got a taste of the finest dishes in the finest restaurants in the French Quarter (without cooking) while learning the history of our great city. Candy was a superb tour guide. She was knowledgeable yet presented the information in a casual, fun, interesting way. I would go on this tour again and will recommend it to anyone.

Candy was very entertaining during the tour. It was a great opportunity to sample foods at some of the best restaurants. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as there is walking involved. I wouldn't recommend this tour for younger children, but for everyone else it will be a great time. Also, there are good size portions served, but you should eat a snack in advance because these are sample sizes (this isn't a full meal).

This is a great tour. We went into areas on the restaurants (like the kitchen!) we would never have experienced by simply eating there. The tour guide was knowledgeable and peasant. Loved it !
