Planned this tour for myself and husband. Two 21 year old college students decided to attend also. It was the highlight of all our trip! Learned facts of New Orleans that are quite uncommon,toured restaurants and their kitchens and we all tried foods we never thought we would enjoy(turtle soup)! We will definitely return when tour II is happening!

I have made many trips to NOLA and this was my first food tour. It was very informative and a great way to learn more about the culture of New Orleans. The food was unbelievable and we visited many of the restaurants again over the remainder of our trip. Highly recommended for first time visitor or tenth time visitor.

Our guide Sandy was great, very interesting and also pointed out other points of interest during the walk that we would not have known about otherwise. She was very attentive to our needs. Food was great, and remember, it is a tasting, so don't expect full sized portions! However, it was enough that we cancelled our dinner reservation and just ate a light late snack for dinner. We took water but also purchased beverages along the way. We were here in March with great weather. However, it would have been uncomfortable if you can't take the heat or have difficulty walking.

We went on the tour for the first time last May. When we decided to meet friends in New Orleans I asked if they would like to go on the tour. They were enthusiastic so I made reservations. We all had a great time. We had George as our guide both times and he was amazing. Next time we're going to plan one of the cemetery tours.

This was the best tour that we did while in New Orleans. Our tour guide not only took us around to the different places to sample the food, she also told us about the history of the French Quarter. As we walked from restaurant to restaurant she told us about the different buildings, why they were important, and about the history of the meshing of the different cultures that came together. It was amazing to learn the history of the French Quarter, all while enjoying delicious food.

lots of history. we left after the first location. not because we didn't like it but because my husband wasn't feeling well. I was dissapointed that on the first location we were unable to see some areas of the restaurants because there were people in the areas dining so we couldnt go in and we couldn't go into the kitchen because there was some mantenance being done.

Great tour, wonderful food, amazing experience!

The tour was a wonderful event that I will recommend to any friends that visit New Orleans. It started with a historical lesson of the history of food in Southern Louisiana, and the major additions that different countries and cultures added to the cuisine. After the historical journey, we sampled Gumbo from Antoine's and subsequently began our tour. We started by touring Antoine's restaurant and went to other famous and historical restaurants located in the French Quarter. The stops included lessons about the history of the restaurants, their additions to local cuisine, and the sampling some delicious food. Our guide, Renee (I believe), was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour an enjoyable experience. The tour lasted about three and a half hours, and concluded with the opportunity to purchase Sazerac's at Tujague's. Overall, I think the tour is a great activity for both locals and visitors.
