It reinforced the adage that you can't get a bad meal in New Orleans.

Terrific look behind the scenes of old restaurants

We were surprised to see the beautiful rooms of the old restaurants, you will never see this on your own. Nice tastings too! Only thing missing is a taste of jambalaya, we would expect that on such tour.

Our guide, a former chef, provided wonderful insight into the NOLA restaurant scene and history and we leisurely moved from one grand dame location to another sampling creole and cajun dishes. We also had some "behind the scenes" tour of private dining rooms and kitchens. Altogether, a great time.

Aa great afternoon learning the history of New Orleans and the cultural influences on the food. Well paced and interesting. We've been to New Orleans before but this brought a new perspective to our visit.

Food and History Buff's Delight

Guide was enthusiastic, fun, knowledgeable, and really into the history and food preparation. In a short stay of three days, with the tour on day 1, we returned to one of the stores and two of the restaurants from the tour. The walking was short enough for a couple in their 70s, and the opportunities to sit and chat were plentiful. Our group had only 4 persons, so it was really intimate. This was our second trip to N.O. and the French Quarter in recent years, and the mix of history and culinary details made this tour the best part of an altogether wonderful trip.

Great tour!

We had an excellent guide (Leah). Had tastings at Antoine's, Arnaud's, and other great local spots. The background histories of Antoine's and Arnaud's was really interesting with access to areas of both restaurants that an average tourist might not get to experience. Would definitely recommend this tour.
