| Being a native of Louisiana, but not a frequent visitor New Orleans, this was a great tour. My fiancee (who's never been to La. before) and I learned so much about the city, it's very unique culinary and extended history, and the French Quarters specifically. Besides the very tasty food and welcoming demeanor of the restuarant owners and staff, the best aspect of this tour was our guide Randy. He was absolutely the best! Without a doubt I would recommend this tour to anyone, even those who may be native to the city; moreover, I would highly encourage them to see if they too can be guided by Randy! |

| My wife and I would not have missed this for the world. Without this tour we would not have been able to see inside some of the kitchens (especially Antoine's) and get a greater understanding of both Creole and Cajun cooking. The background was fascinating and Randy was an excelent tour guide. The walking is not demanding but the streets of New Orleans are uneven and that comes with the territory.
We would recommend this tour as a must. |

| My sister and I enjoyed the tour very much. I live locally in the area, but she has lived away from New Orleans for 50 years. We especially enjoyed hearing about the restaurant's history, but wished we had some history on Petunia's and a tasting at Antoine's.
Randy was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining.
On the whole, it was a great tour. |

| I was in NOLA for work and had one free afternoon; so I thought I'd try this tour. I was so happy I did so! Our tour guide, Renee, was great. Knowledgable, fun, kept us on the right pace. I learned a great deal more about the French Quarter than I otherwise would have. This may not be as commerically interesting as the cemetary tours or bar tours, but if you are a foodie (as I am), this is a good fit. I'd recommend this to individuals who like to learn about local history and food history and who enjoy tasting a few samples. We had 6 people to our group, which also made for a great size. Not too big at all. |

| Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. She had a great sense of humor and was very pleasant. We learned a great deal about how the Spanish, English, French, Indians, etc. influenced the food and the differences between Cajun and Creole.
There was a LOT of walking involved and the tasting portions were small at some places. Be sure to wear comfy shoes and bring water.
It was definitely worth the cost for our group! |

| Ellen, our tour guide, is a new Orleans native with a passion for the rich history of her native city--she made the tour a delight. We have been to NO several times, love the city (and the food), and still we learned some new things and discovered new places that are now on our "must see" list. |

| Basically a very interesting tour. We found it a little long. I think it could be cut to about two hours instead of three. Also a little overpriced for what you get. Tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. |

| Our tour guide was fabulous, who really knew his history. Randy's
love for the city was genuine and sharing it wasn't a job but a passion,
you could tell. Seeing Antoines(kitchen. wine cellar, dining rooms was very interesting. At Creole Delicacies we even had a mini cooking lesson from
the lovely owner! We really enjoyed the food tastings (muffalata's,red beans&
rice, rum cake...etc)and the warm New Orleans welcomes, everywhere we went. This was my husband's and mine first visit to New Orleans and going on the tour really gave us insights to the city, places to go, I'm so glad we did this at the beginning of our stay. I can't wait to bring my family back , we just scratched the surface, theres so much to do, posssible ghost tour with Randy.... |

| Randy provided a thorough and entertaining tour of New Orleans cuisine. The three hours passed by before we knew it--and we never had a dull moment. The 'backstage' access that he was able to get was great-- kitchens, special dining rooms, tastings and demos. We were all amazed at how much information Randy knows about the history of the area as well as the cuisine. A really spectacular tour worth every penny! |
