| All of the restaurants we learned about were very interesting and our guide was knowledgeable about the local cuisine's history. The food we got to taste was delicious and some of the discounts visitors get for being on the tour were unique.
The group we had was apparently larger than normal so we couldn't always go into the restaurants we were learning about which was unfortunate as it was very hot and humid. Our guide was not very enthusiastic or entertaining but he was knowledgeable.
Overall my partner and I would recommend the tour because it is very unique, especially for beginners into culinary history, but it does not need to be a three hour tour. |

| I enjoyed the walk through town with the chance to view private areas in each restaurant not known about and not many have access to. I enjoyed the food samples and suggestion on where to find what I was looking for. There are so many options to eat and purchase things to take home and try later to impress friends but it is hard to know where the really authentic good food is. They all make the same claim. This will help to narrow down the search if you have limited time to visit as I did with only and weekend to squeeze everything in.
The only thing I would have love would be in the tour included beverage samples as well. I learned of the book with history of the place various cocktails were invented and meant to make time to go and try a few but just ran out of time arriving Friday and leaving Sunday. I would have been willing to pay more if the tour would have included this. |

| My husband and I tried this tour after I had been on a similar tour of the North End of Boston. The tour in New Orleans provided plenty of delicious samples of the dishes the region is known for. The history was informative, but not riveting. In comparison, more food was provided on the NOLA tour, but more history of the region/ architecture was provided on the Boston tour.
We would recommend this tour to others. Go on a nearly empty stomach as there are many things to sample.
It was fun to compare what we had seen and done with others in the group. We got some good recommendations for dinner. |

| We enjoyed this tour very much. The restaurants we visited and the historical information our tour guide provided were excellent. The tasting enhanced the tour experience over the regular tour. We also returned on our own to two of the restaurants/stores to enjoy a meal and shopping. Great job! |

| We learned alot of history and ate alot of food, you may want to skip lunch before hand. Our guide, George, was funny, down to earth and a professional chef, so the tour was from a chef's point of view. We enjoyed this much more than the Crescent City Nights from Grey Line, which we were very disappointed in. Make sure you bring a bottle of water! |

| You will buy a 3-hour tour, and will spend 2 hours & 50 minutes listening to the guide fill the time with ridiculous and uninformative information. You'll get 10 minutes TOPS of eating time, and it will be paltry bits of food (2 oz of gumbo in a paper cup eaten on the sidewalk outside a restaurant, or a crumb of praline passed on a plate, etc et c.) Meanwhile, most of the tour overhyped as "behind the scenes" is concentrated in Antoine's 14 (yes, 14) dining rooms where the guide feels compelled to spend 5 - 10 minutes PER ROOM!
Yes, I'm not exagerrating. If you're not in Antoines, you're on the street squeezed up against the wall as cars, trucks, and people move by. TRUST ME ON THIS: Take your money, find a good restaurant, and spend 3 hours eating, drinking and soaking up true New Orleans hospitality. This could have been a fabulous tour, |

| Randy, the tour guide was very good. Informative and entertaining.
The food samples were good.
Learned some history and some culinary expertise.
A good tour. A long time on your feet but I felt that we were adequately advised of this in the promotional material.
Thanks |
