1.) At three hours...it's 45 minutes too long. They should eliminate two of the stops; shortening the afternoon would make it more enjoyable. 2.) We went during Mardi Gras and could not get into two of our locations. Our tour guide explained it by saying, "That's Mardi Gras." Unacceptable -- we paid full price, we expected full access. 3.) Randy (our tour guide), went overboard in chasing away passers-by who stood on the fringe of our group and eavesdropped. His sarcastic comments detracted from the fun of the event. Generally an interesting event, but could use the above-referenced changes.

Outstanding. A great tour all around.

My girlfiend and I went on the tour in the middle of Mardi Gras. Even with the crazy amount of people and conjestion we swiftly moved around the French Quarter with a very knowledgable and amusing tour guide, Randy. He was extremely informed on not only the food, but the city and it's culture as well. As a working chef in my hometown I have to say that all of the restraunts provided us with a very good taste of what makes the city special. The only thing that seemed a little out of place was the gelato at the end of the tour. I would highly reccomend this tour to anyone, preferably a Saturday or monday, as those are the days Randy guides.

Could have been better
Fri, Feb 20, 09   2:00 PM SHolloway Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Had already been on a Greenwich Village and Chicago food tour which were both fantastic. This tour was not up to par...no handout with intinerary for tour, names of restaurants, addresses, phone numbers or e-mail addresses so little hope of us returning to them. No bottled water distributed at beginning of tour. The french quarter was extremely busy, loud and noisy with pre-Mardi Gras activities...made it dificult to stay with the guide and to hear and see what was going on. Stopped at a couple of places for a little spiel, went into their patio area, but no samples. The samples that we did receive were delicious and there was a nice variety. Not enough restroom breaks, lost a couple of our group a couple of times, lack of interest and enthusiasm on part of guide. There were 14 people in our group. Thankfully, the rest of the group had never been on a food tour so they had nothing to compare it to. I, however was a bit disappointed.

I've been visiting the French Quarter for the past nine years and this culinary tour showed me all the restaurants that I've been missing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tastings at all of the varied venues were delicious! I would recommend this tour to any one that visits New Orleans.

We had samples of the best and most famous treats that New Orleans is famous for. Our tour guide was a fund of knowledge about the area. The culinary tour is a must do in any visit to New Orleans.

The Culinary Tour was full of stories about food, resturants, and people. The resturarants were great, full of history, food samples, and stories of New Orleans. Such fun. After the tour I felt that I knew the city a bit, we had just arrived the day before so this was a great orientation. Loved the tour.

This is a wonderful tour and I especially enjoyed the history of the restaurants. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy giving the tour as much as I enjoyed receiving it. The tour guide was Renee Dodge. Thanks, Barbara

Fun, Factual, and FANTASTIC!
Sat, Jan 17, 09   2:00 PM rcddjqalne Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was my and my husband's first trip to New Orleans and this culinary tour gave us a little bit of everything: history, origins, and tastings of New Orlean's dishes; background of restaurants and their relevance to the city and it's foods; and quite a bit about the history of Louisiana and New Orleans from past to present. Our guide, Randy, made the trip through the French Quarter informative, interesting, and above all, amusing. The three hours flew by and we were pleased to linger at the end to mingle with our new-found, fellow tour-guests assembled from near and far. We greatly recommend this unique tour that takes one into the large kitchen at Antoine's to the small patio at the back of Creole Delicacies Store where an on-hands demonstration for making Roux is a treat!

This was a great introductory tour to the cuisine and history of New Orleans. The tastings were excellent and quite fulfilling. We counted as a wonderful lunch. Our guide, Renee, truly displayed a knowledge and love for New Orleans. Thank you!

This was a great tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of extra information. I enjoyed seeing the inside of so many famous restaurants and hearing the history. The food samples were very good, too. I only wish I'd taken this tour on my first day in the city instead of the last.
