| 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 |

| The tour was very informative and really showcased the different places. The only suggestion I would have is to have more variety in the samples. |

| Randy did a great job and it's obvious he's into French Quarter history. Unfortunately there was 1 person in our tour who should not have been on this tour. She doesn't cook and was only interested in French architectural history. Randy could have done a slightly better job of shutting her down but didn't.. We ate lots and enjoyed the food. We went back to Antoines after the tour to try the original Oysters Rockefeller. |

Highly suggest this to anyone interested in food.

| Excellent tour which I feel lucky to have taken. I believe that the guide on any tour can make or break it. Our guide Randy was wonderful, knowledgeable, humourous and excellent at his job. Would take it again. |

| Randy was a great tour guide . Very knowledgeable about not only the culinary history but the history of New Orleans as well. Very enthusiastic.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, even if they are not interested in food or cooking. Lot of good samples along the way. |

| We were very fortunate to have Chef George as our guide recently. George has worked in several well-known restaurants in N.O. as well as having an in depth knowledge of the local cuisine and the city history involved with it. We visited a varied sample of "eateries" in the French Quarter and were able to sample some very tasty dishes and desserts. I especially enjoyed the cooking demonstration given in an old courtyard by a local who clearly enjoys sharing stories and recipes. The tour was one of the best I've ever taken! |

| This tour is an interesting way to learn more about the established restaurants in the French Quarter in New Orleans. You have a chance to enter some restaurants to look around and a chance to sample food at others. It was enjoyable experience and our guide was very knowledgeable. As always, when talking to a group of people outside, particularly in the middle of the French Quarter festival, it's sometimes difficult to hear. As much information should be shared inside buildings, as possible. |

Very much met and exceeded our expectations.

| We have been on culinary tours in other parts of the country and would stand this tour up against any of the other tours that we have taken. The tour guide was very well informed about the historical components of the Quarter and conveyed her knowledge in a very informative but casual manner. The tour started out slow for us and we had thought we had made a mistake but as it progressed it became apparent that we had made the right choice. The sampling was much larger and extensive that we had thought we would experience and the food was absolutely fabuluous. If you have an afternoon to enjoy something like this than you should do it. |

| My husband and I enjoyed the culinary tour very much. Our favorite part was visiting Antoine's and speaking with Executive Chef Mike. There is nothing better then getting to ask questions one on one with a chef and finding out what his thoughts are and how he runs his fabulous kitchen! We would have liked to visit some other well known city restaurants to have a sample of their menu but the small venues were very nice too. Our guide was very informative and I would recommend this for those without young children. |

| The tour was basically a historical and cultural overview of the French Quarter with snacks. It wasn't a a significant foodie experience but it was a pleasant way to see the area and the food was tasty. There was a small cooking demo of some local cuisine which was clearly the tour's highlight. I would have preferred less time touring restaurants and more time talking about food. There was no time to shop at the little praline store or the local food shop, which I think would have been nice to try and fit in. |
