| Our tour guide, Randy, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable! He grew up in New Orleans and clearly loves the culture and cuisine. It was a very laid back group and everyone seemed to get a lot out of it.
I attended several tours on this trip (Garden District, Ghost Tour, Gallier House, etc.) and this was our favorite. Don't miss it! (Get Randy, if you can.) |

| This was my 2nd culinary tour and my first was far superior to this one. This one could have been wonderful if not for the rediculous amount of time the tour guide kept us in the heat babbling about history. As he would frequently wipe his sweaty brow with a hankerchief (how appealing!), the rest of us suffered and wondered why in the world would we would be kept standing outside so long in front of Antoine's when the restaurant had ample seating for us in numerous rooms.
Eating hot gumbo OUTSIDE was just silly! The gumbo was wonderful but to be subjected to a hot courtyard with no appropriate seating to eat gumbo was just silly; my daughter ended up with stains on her shorts from sitting on the ledge which provided the only seating.
The restaurants were great, the food was great, but the tour itself fell far short of what it could have been. |

| I decided to take this tour because the reviews were very good. I was not disappointed! It was an excellent tour with an excellent tour guide. We learned about the history of the restaurants we visited and the history of the city of New Orleans, sampled local foods and learned the difference between Cajun and Creole. The tour guide was cheerful and knowledgeable and answered any questions people had. Although we moved along at a good pace we were able to sit and relax while we sampled the food and since some of the tour was indoors, we did not overheat in the sun. I really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. |

| loved the tour, will look for more culinary tours at other cities we travel. would like to do same tour again, with another guide (just for different take on things). Also, a beverage tour might be fun in NO,LA. Guide was VERY informative and knew his stuff. |

| We were lucky in that my friends and I made up the tour group for that particular day. The guide Renee was excellent and everyone appreciated her historic knowledge as much as her engaging delivery of the information. The tour covered a number of restaurants as well as history of the cuisine, the restaurateurs, and the bayou. In particular I enjoyed visiting the kitchen of the famous Antoine's restaurant. The tour was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it over or in addition to plantation tours and swamp tours for its unique character. |

| Our tour guide, Randall, was the key to our enjoyment of this tour. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about not only the food but the city itself.
I have been to New Orleans many times and I have done many, many tours, but this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. This was my Boyfriends first trip to New Orleans and because of this tour he was exposed not only to the history but also the "New Orleans flavors". We learned new things and truly enjoyed being introduced to new cuisine.
We would definitely recommend this tour and Tour Guide! |

| As a culinary tour it was too short on food and food prep and too long onn history |

Good snapshot of food and history.

| I enjoyed the enthusiasm and knowledge of the French Quarter. Particularly enjoyed tour of Antoine's, and, of course, the tastings. |
