| Tour guide knew some history, but the samples were few. It was very frustrating that we got kicked out of the first restaurant. The second restaurant gave us a swizzle stick - then we stopped at several restaurants and stood out front. A simple tour and taste of food and I might have gone back to eat the the restaurants. I don't think the tour company should promote restaurants that don't let them in and can't give a small sample. Savor Seattle is the best food tour I've ever been on - they used headsets that made it easy to tour. |

| We had a great tour. Our tour guide was very informative - who would have known there was so much cullinary history in one city? I would definately recommend to all of my foodie friends. |

| This was a great way to spend a few hours. Our group was small and so was able to have an experience that a larger group could not. Have been to New Orleans many times but have not gone to the older restaurants, so got to see rooms we would not ordinarily see. It was worth the cost, even my husband enjoyed it. |

| Our tour was a full group of 16, on a rainy day, had we a wonderful time walking, talking and eating our way throught the Quarter to discover the stories and food of this great city.
We learned about (and ate) all the food groups: Gumbo, muffalata, pralines, brisket, rice and beans and cake. Our tour leader was fun and well informed and took us into the back doors of some great places to eat, and we toured placed we could never see on our own. The kitchen at Antoines was impressive, as were the many dining rooms we got to see. Renee knows her way around the quarter and got us in and around some wonderful places. Don't miss this tour. |

| I loved the tour guide Randy--he was lots of fun and very knowledgable--however, we were anticipating more actual tasting--by 4:00 in the afternoon all we had eaten was a part of a praline and a tiny dixie cup of gumbo. I came with my appetite so was dissappointed that the tour didn't offer much in the way of actual food. Finally we got a tiny muffaleta (disappointing), a piece of rum cake that I never would ordinarily have eaten, (but I was ravenous), and a small bit of roast beef (delicious). So I would recommend the tour, but have lunch first! |

| A group of four of us took this tour on Sept. 13, 2008. It lasted about three hours and visited about half a dozen sites. The tour guide was informative, but an inordinate amount of the narrative consisted of general New Orleans history rather than focusing on food. In fact, food was only marginally related to this tour, IMO. We received sample cuisine at exactly three locations, and one of those was a praline shop! Not great value for money considering what they charge for this tour, and I thought it was drastically overpriced -- $20 would be more realistic than $45. We won't take it again or recommend it to friends. |
