We would definately do it again. The food samples were delicious, the guide was knowledgable, and as always, the Quarter is fabulous.

Informative, interesting tour
Mon, May 21, 07   2:00 PM eragsdale Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Kelly was a wonderful guide around the French Quarter...very informative, interesting tour. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the tour very much. We thought the tour would give us ideas for dining during the rest of our stay in New Orleans, and it did just that. We especially enjoyed the tour through Antoine's many dining rooms. The addition of the Louisiana Cooking School to the tour stops was a great choice. We're hoping to schedule a class there on our next visit to New Orleans. The walking tour could have been a little less expensive but otherwise we have no complaints.

Best activity we did in New Orleans!
Mon, May 21, 07   2:00 PM NancyLear Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Kelly, was very knowledgable and friendly...as were the proprietors that we visited. Tasting samples were great too! My only regret is that we did the tour the day before we left New Orleans and didn't have time to dine at all of the places where we sampled. We enjoyed the tours inside Antoine's, Tujagues & Brennan's - it was interesting to see the various dining rooms and learn about their history. I was really glad that we were able to visit the New Orleans School of Cooking on our tour (first time it was included in the tour). I will definitely take a class there, next time I visit New Orleans. I give this tour an A+++++++

A great way to preview classic New Orleans

I liked being able to go inside the restaurants and see the dining rooms. Tasting was an added bonus! Also a good way to orient to the French Quarter.

Good fun in not too hot weather

Go on an empty stomach. Nice insiders view of some wonderful restaurants when they're empty and you can wander and see the history / decor. Good overview of origins of local cuisine. Would like to see and hear a little more contemporary history of NOLA cuisine. Overall good fun.

Interesting historical overview
Sat, May 12, 07   2:00 PM G_Bordelon Female 50-59 Local Unspecified
Historical and cultural info was interesting along with the tour of the restaurant dining rooms. The various tastings were also good. It was unfortunate though that the Herman Grimma house was closed on the Saturday we visited (as it is on all Saturdays). Since this 19th century home / kitchen / and cooking methods was advertised as one of the main stops / activities, it was very disappointing that we did not get to go there. Since it is closed every Saturday, it seems that some adjustment should be made for this omission -- either a cut in the cost of the tour or a visit to some other similar location.

GREAT TOUR
Fri, May 11, 07   2:00 PM rara3339 Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK THE CULINARYHISTORY AND TASTING TOUR WHILE VISITING NO A FEW WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN BOSTON (NORTH END) AND WE WERE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT FOODS AND CULTURE OF NO. VERY INFORMATIVE; HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT RESTAURANTS WE MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT HAVE HAD THE TIME TO SEE AND TO TASTE SOME OF THE FLAVORS OF NO. I.E.. GUMBO, MUFFALATAS, PECAN TARTS. GUIDE WAS GREAT. CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR ENOUGH!

My husband and I took this tour a few weeks ago and thought that the tour was both fun and educational. We enjoyed sampling the food and learning about some of the historic restaurants in New Orleans.

Don't miss this!

We've done several tours through NOLA but this one was really unique. We loved the "behind the scenes" tours of famous French Quarter restaurants and the history of various cuisines. Our tour guide, Kelly, was very knowledgeable about her subject and very friendly. The food and drinks we tasted were a nice blend of typical New Orleans type dishes. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone.

A Fun Afternoon!
Fri, Apr 27, 07   2:00 PM LindaBarnes Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Enjoyed this walking tour very much. Bill was a wealth of information about local architecture and history as well as our multiple restaurant stops on the culinary tour. It was a near-private tour with just two of us in the Friday afternoon group! I will certainly enjoy a longer future trip to New Orleans so there's time to patronize a few more of the respected establishments we visited... thanks again, this was a great overview!

Quite formative, the guide was great. I had expected more tastings based on the advertising of the event, but would recommend it to others.

A great intro to NO restaurants & cuisine
Tue, Apr 24, 07   2:00 PM ken8631 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This is the best way to learn about New Orleans, its restaurants and cuisine. You get to find out the best "locals" places, the expensive but historically rich places, the food and people. You get to go inside some of the closed restaurants (afternoon tour) and view what they are like (open only for dinner due to Katrina and not yet resuming full hours). The samples help you to explore what you may never have thought about tasting or known existed and should taste. It will definitely peak your taste buds. Unfortunately for us it came at the end of our trip, but... we did go to one of the restaurants twice for breakfast. It has helped us to plan our trip for next year as to which places are definite musts.

Recommend with some reservations

Our group of three enjoyed the tour for the history. It was amazing, and we learned a lot. However, for the cost of the tour, the tasting aspect fell somewhat short. The best part was we went back to our favorite restaurants the next few days and enjoyed some fabulous meals!

Fantastic tour
Fri, Apr 20, 07   2:00 PM jotreadwell Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This is the 2nd time that I've taken the culinary tour. The first time was in January with a friend and I knew that when I returned on vacation with my mother and sister, I wanted them to be sure to take them on the tour as well. Kelly is so knowledgeable about the culinary history and the restaurants. I think that anyone who is interested in the restaurants and food of New Orleans would be thrilled with this tour - especially if they're looking for some great restaurants to try out.
