| We had a great family time. My teenagers even liked it. My husband is a history teacher and said everything was "right on". We really enjoyed Antoines and had lots of time to look everything over. |

| My wife and I enjoyed the tour...a good mix of New Orleans history and how the culture and food developed over time. Also gives you a nice sampling of some of the local food at quality establishments with a lot of history to them. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Would recommend this activity to anyone going to New Orleans who isn't just there for the 'Bourbon Street Liquid Diet'. |

| So we went on this tour at 2pm thinking we didn't need lunch first since we'd be eating on the tour. EAT FIRST! This tour is more history than eating, and not all of the history was even right (don't talk about absinthe if you don't know about it)! Our tour guide had her cell phone ring 3 times during the tour, after each call saying she was turning off her phone, but obviously never did. Once when walking to the next stop she checked her voicemail! In our group of 8 she corrected people at least 3 times, correcting me once when I said, "oh, this kind of tastes like..."! Of this 3 hours tour we'd eaten nothing in the first hour and twenty minutes. Some of the restauranteurs didn't even know we were coming until we showed up. While seeing the city was nice and this was the only guided tour we took while there I'm not sure that I got a $45 worth/person. I don't discourage going on this tour b/c maybe it was just our guide, but definitely eat first! |

| I am a local who took the tour with my daughter, a chef at a well known French Quarter restaurant. I thought it would be fun to do with her and we both enjoyed the tour tremendously. Even though we were locals, we learned many new facts about the culinary culture in New Orleans. Our tour guide was well informed and I have and will continue to recommend this tour to friends and family. |

| I found this on line and didn't book at first - but came back at a later date and figured - well it's only $40.00! It was a GREAT afternoon and exceeded my expectations. It is so much more that a restaurant tour. I was exposed to the history and culture of the area. And seeing the Krewe rooms was something that would not have happened if I had only dined at the restaurants. The tour guide was great and the tour covered alot for the leisurely pace. I would highly recommend this activity. |

| The Culinary Food History tour of New Orleans was very informative and interesting. Not only did we learn about the main foods related to the city, but we also learned about some famous restaurants, people, and events. The tastings were exquisite and the various restaurant workers were always happy to see us. The tour guide was very learned and pleasant. This tour truly enriched our experience during our visit. |

| Great fun to go behind the scenes. The samples were all good; we returned to several places for a meal or drink later in our trip. Our guide, Ellen, skillfully wove history and food into a wonderful narrative about New Orleans. |
