French Quarter Culinary History and Tasting Tour

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.

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.

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.

Our guide was terrifice! He was so passionate talking about the culinary history of the New Orleans. We learned so much and had such a wonderful time. I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants to taste the history of New Orleans!

Listen to the history of the city while you eat! I'm not a foodie or a history buff, but I loved both aspects of the tour. The only reason why I wouldn't "enthusiastically" recommend the tour is it is a lot of time standing.

My boyfriend and I went on this tour the first day we arrived, and enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable, and the food we sampled was VERY GOOD! You learn alot about the food and culture of New Orleans.

I highly enjoyed this tour. I learned a lot about the history in New Orleans as well as really understand the cuisine and the difference between Creole and Cajun. The food samples were ideal and provided a good variety. If you enjoy cooking or eating, you really should take this tour.

I highly recommend taking this culinary tour and tasting at the beginning of your stay at New Orleans like I did. It will give you a better understanding of New Orlean cuisines when you go out for lunch or dinner. The best part for me was tasting the muffulettas. Normally I would not order it but now that I've tasted it I would.

We were touring for the first time in New Orleans,and found this to be so informative-great guide with wonderful "behind the scenes insight" and very knowledgeable to the city's history-combine this with incredible tastings from different local eateries -came away with full stomachs and an appreciation of the wonderful food & history of New Orleans

I would recommend that Kelly (the tour guide) give the people on the tour a hand out with a list of the places we visited. I had been on a tour in New York and they handed you a bottle of water and a hand out listing the places we visited. It is hard to remember once you have been on the tour the places you visited.
