French Quarter Culinary History and Tasting Tour

The tour was great - well worth the price for the food alone. Our guide was wonderful mixing history of the city and its people along with the history of the cuisine - I learned so much! I would highly recommend the tour. My only suggestion is to tell people not to eat lunch - even with the walking in between restaurants we were stuffed at the end!

The winning touch to this tour was our guide Joe. He was knowledgeable, funny and easy going, as well as helpful. We are lucky to have such great young people in our country. I have traveled many places internationally and he was one of the best guides I have ever had. I especially appreciated his knowledge of history of the area. The pacing was also good. We visited three of the establishments on the tour at a later date!

We have been so pleased with tasting tours in other cities, we now look for them in any city we visit. Last week we toured the French Quarter with a guide who was a history major at the University of New Orleans. His ability to explain the historic origins of the food, as well as other interesting and little known facts about the French Quarter were the highlight of our trip. The food was delicious, and we saw parts of the city that few tourists get to tour. I highly recommend this and other food tasting tours to other travelers.

What a wonderful way to rediscover New Orleans. A walking culinary tour was just made to order. It gave us chance to eat the special food that is New Orleans at it's best. Gumbo, muffellats, pralines, jumbilya and pastries, along with a drink and more history of the area then I ever knew. Thanks for always providing outstanding tour guides!

We did enjoy the culinary tour of the French Quarter. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun. The food samples were good but the history was better.We especially enjoyed the tour on Antoines Restaurant even though we did not get any samples there.

great

We visited a number of restaurants and shops and had samples of the following at different stops: Gumbo Chocolate croissant Muffeletta Brisket Praline Sazerac Red beans and rice The guide/owner of the tour is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the historry of New Orleans as well as the restaurants we visited, including Antoine's, Brennan's, The Napoleon House, etc. The tour was 3 hours and very well paced. My wife and I both highly recommend this tour.

Awesome job....great tour,wonderful food, excellent guide full of subject knowledge.

Tour was good, and gave a decent historical overview of the NO, LA culinary scene. Was led by someone who was more a tour guide than a foodie, so she gave more of a flavor of history than the type of history a chef would give.

Wonderful, informative, and enjoyable. Guide was very good and knowledgeable. The samples of food were more than enough to satisfy. Everyone was gracious and patient.
