Very informative
Tue, Nov 20, 07   2:00 PM SusanChance Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Although we had been to New Orleans numerous times over the years, we really enjoyed this tour. We found wonderful local eateries that were very economical, which we probably would have overlooked in the past. We figured the samples wouldn't carry us through to our evening meal. However, although they were small by some standards, they were ample enough that our whole party (of big eaters) were satisfied and went without dinner afterward. The information provided by Kelly the owner and our tour guide was plentiful! We couldn't believe how much information she provided both from general history and personal history as she grew up in the area. Wonderful. It's a must see tour!

Nice Tour
Sat, Nov 17, 07   2:00 PM nawlinsadict Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Enjoyed the tour. Good tour guide that is also a New Orleans history major. Enjoyed the muffelttas and the napoleon house. Enjoyed the beef briskit at Tejacques. Was nice to see the inside of Antoines. Thought it was odd to stand on the street corner outside of Petunias and eat gumbo. Unsure why we were not able to see the inside of the restaurant. A LOT of standing on the tour. Did not get to sit until about 1/2 way through the tour. This was my 8th trip to NO and I had never seen the Napoleon house or Tejacques. I will eat at both on my next trip. Overall, nice tour.

Great History- Not Enough Food and Drink Tasting
Fri, Nov 16, 07   2:00 PM boomer5012 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Needs more food tasting opportunities. The history was great as well as the guide (Renee Dodge). For three hours of walking and $40 price for the tour I would expect to be more full by the end of the tour.

great entree to sites and to later destinations
Tue, Nov 13, 07   2:00 PM LanceHoffman Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We took this tour our first full day in New Orleans. It gave us a flavor of various local specialties and the guide was very helpful with suggestions on where to try out them and other foods later during our time in the city. We also got a behind the scenes look at several restaurants, including Antoine's -- we made a reservation on the spot and had a fascinating visit and meal there the next day, and a long talk with the owner, none of which would have come about without our introduction to him on the tour. Kelly and he obviously knew and were comfortable with each other, and that made the behind the scenes visit all the more fun and informative.

Behind the scenes; at the front of the tour list
Mon, Nov 12, 07   2:00 PM tianudd Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was my 2nd visit to New Orleans PK (post-Katrina). Every creative effort being made by the courageous and resilient people of the city should be supported to the max. That said; this tour would be worth doing at any time. Our guide gave us insights into the history of some of New Orleans' best known restauants and their specialities. The tasting opportunities were frequent (best not to eat before the tour.) The walking was not strenuous, and we were sorry when the tour was over. Don't expect the secret recipies of Antoine's or Brennans, but you will get glimpses of interiors you might not otherwise see without spending a lot. Take water to drink. Cheers to Kelly and her crew - we'll be back; and we'll do the tour again. TU Vancouver Canada

Fun way to learn about the history of New Orleans.
Mon, Nov 5, 07   2:00 PM audra53 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His review of the history of New Orleans, both political and social, was easy to follow and really let the group understand how this history has influenced the culinary traditions of the region. The sample servings of the food was sufficient for the cost of the tour. The majority of stops that include food are placed near the end of the tour so don't arrive too hungry. I recommend bringing a bottle of water with you, especially if the tour takes place during the warmer months. The only beverage that is offered for free is the sample of the cocktail Sazerac at the end of the tour. There is the opportunity to purchase beverages at a few stops along the way, however. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans. It is a fun and unique way to learn the history of the city.

Excellent. Knowledgeable Tour Guide.
Mon, Nov 5, 07   2:00 PM jmillet79 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
It was a great tour that highlighted not only some history of New Orleans, but of course included the culinary history that we were hoping to get. On the tour, I learned a lot about both and feel I was able to know more about the city then during my other visits. It was also good to be able to try the different foods that New Orleans is famous for and better understand how these items got their start in the city. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the tour and would recommended it to others who come to NOLA for a visit.

My daughter and I took this culinary trip and both thought iit waqs marvelous. The docent was well prepared and told us much more information then we expected. All the stops were both interesting and delicious. She gave us some culinary history and answered all questions. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly reccommend it. Sincerely, Beverlee Levie and Karen Mandel.

Extrememly enthusiastic tour provider
Tue, Oct 30, 07   2:00 PM iseult72 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
Even though I was the only person booked on the tour, I was enthusiastically met and taken through many back areas including Galatoire's and Brennan's. The tour provider seemed to know everyone in the business and not only provided samples and history but made recommendations for my stay in New Orleans - as many of which I took her up on as I could. She was very knowledgable and personable and I would highly recommend this tour - preferably as soon as you get to NO so that you can use the tour as a resource for enjoying the excellent food available in the city. I cannot fault this tour - the best I took while in NO. Wonderful.
