French Quarter Culinary History and Tasting Tour

Our leader Leah, had wonderful information that she provided us. This is the second program we have done and have only be happy

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.

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.

The tour guide, Sally, was awesome.......great history learned about each stop along with great food to taste. I was very impressed with this tour and would do it again!!

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.

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.

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

My daughter and I just completed a short NO vacation. The Culinary Historical Tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Sally was knowledgeable and enjoyable, the history and stops, plus the food was perfect. Do not eat prior to meeting for the tour. We booked the tour for our first full day there, a good thing to do as we were able to go back to some of the places we visited. About the only suggestion I might have would be to have a short printed handout of the places we visited, along with their addresses, so returning would be easier. For a newcomer to the city after a while all names blend together. Thank you all so much for a great welcoming time.

Our guide was interesting, professional and a retired attorney. She was great! The food was good and we enjoyed the restaurants we visited.

The tour guide's information of the French Quarters restaurants with the history of area was the pefect mix along with the right amount of stops for tastings.
