One of the highlights of my first visit to NOLA
Tue, Apr 29, 08   2:00 PM Lisa_Hackett Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Our tour guide, Ellen, was energetic and full of knowledge. She gave me even more of an appreciation for the rich history of NO. All that I learned from her made it much easier for me to navigate the city as the restaurant choices were overwhelming. I enjoyed the food that we tasted. It definitely gave me the opportunity to discern what recipes I preferred in a very short period of time. I enjoyed our walk and all the sights that we took in as well.

Wonderful Tour
Tue, Apr 29, 08   2:00 PM alicelyon Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We had a group of 10: friends and relatives who traveled to New Orleans to celebrate a special birthday, ranging in age from 40-something to 80. We came from various parts of the US. This tour had been recommended by someone who visits New Orleans regularly, and had taken the tour for the first time in December, 07. We all enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide, Ellen, made it extra special. She obviously loves what she does, and is extremely good at it. I would recommend it to anyone traveling to New Orleans.

Pleasant walk and Tasting
Fri, Apr 25, 08   2:00 PM VSCHOR Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The guide was very informative and pleasant. The tour was a good sampling of New Orleans specialties and information on local history. Enjoyed it very much - only could have used a larger "(Alchoholic) drink" at the end.

This was an excellent and very entertaining tour
Fri, Apr 25, 08   2:00 PM baysailor Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This tour was and interesting mix of history and local culinary traditions depicted through a select number of New Orlean's most historic French Quarter resturants. It was very well done, with an entertaining and knowledgeable guide who handled all of our questions with aplomb. The food selections served were excellent, and the distances walked were not stressing. We would highly recommend it, not only to first-time visitors, but especially to anyone who is interested in the importance of food to the history of New Orleans.

A must do tour!
Mon, Apr 21, 08   2:00 PM patmcdougal Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We spent a spectacular 3 hours walking and eating our way through the French Quarter. Our tour guide, Randy, was terrific. Personable and knowledgeable with lots of fun anecdotes about the city, it's culture and food. Do not eat before you go on this tour. We were stuffed. We had our 21-year-old daughter with us and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The group was small which was nice. You might want to call ahead to alert them if you have food allergies. A must do if you are in New Orleans. Bon appetite!

Wonderful way to experience the French Quarter
Mon, Apr 21, 08   2:00 PM ksandry Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Our tour, with Randy Bibb as our guide, far exceeded our expectations. Randy's knowledge of New Orleans' history is impressive, and I feel a little bit like a local after learning a few tidbits that I hadn't heard on other tours of the French Quarter. The restaurants and foods chosen for the tour and tastings were all top notch. The highlight was our visit to the kitchen at Antoine's...how many people can say they've been behind the scenes at one of our country's greatest restaurants? I've already recommended this tour to other friends who are frequent visitors to NOLA, and look forward to my next visit to see what new restaurants and tastings are being offered on this tour.

owner/tour guide great

We enthusastically recommend this tour, especially if you can get the owner as the guide. She is a native New Orleanian and also teaches history at a local college so she knows her stuff!

Our tour guide was fantastic. Her name, I think, was Renee Borden. She did the most incredible tour I have ever been on. Would highly recommend it!!! And, would even do it again!

Excellent tour - loved the stories.
Fri, Apr 18, 08   2:00 PM Eagranie Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Individual
Well worth the ticket price, this tour combines history, food & local colour into three fun hours. Our guide Renee was both informative and entertaining, and the tour was well-paced. The samples are tasty: just enough to keep you going without making you sluggish. Comfortable shoes & a bottle of water are a must.

eat, stroll, learn
Fri, Apr 18, 08   2:00 PM marciefran Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Renee Dodge did an absolutely fantastic job of running the tour. She is witty and very informative. The food tastings really reflected the cuisines of New Orleans. The short stroll around the French quarter allowed her to provide a good historical background of how the various food cuisines evolved. I would recommend this tour to anyone -- but beware, in the summer the walking around in the heat and humidity might not be for everyone.

A wonderful time well spent
Mon, Apr 14, 08   2:00 PM mrswatson Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I had a wonderful time. Not only was our tour guide informative, he was fun to tag along with. I did not hear from my daughter 1 time that she was "bored". And this is a feat. Our time in Louisiana was short, but I'll always remember our time in New Orleans.
