Pretty much as advertised, was a good historical overview of the resteraunts visited along with some fun bits of trivia. It is advertised as a substitute for a late lunch but I would suggest that you eat lunch before you go on the 2:00 tour.

too bad there were a few people on this tour who seemed reluctant to move from one place to another. maybe they were too drunk when we started, or maybe their expectations were different from reality. They made me very frustrated.

Our tour guide was excellent! Our fellow tour mates were enthusiastic, and we were in NOLA at a very busy time of year. The restaurants were great at accommodating our group and the food was delicious! I loved the turtle soup and the optional adult beverages that we were able to purchase along the way.

Overall the tour was good, our guide was very knowledgable about the area, food and stops, but I would have liked a little more history and explanation on the tour. I would also have liked more "off the beaten path" places. Our only real issue was the initial meeting instructions were unclear and didn't actually meet outside as described.

I could go into a million details but this was such a great experience. We had 7 stops and tried food at 6 different locations. We learned history behind Antoine's, and other great aspects of the city's history. Food that we tried was all really delicious: gumbo, shrimp arnaud, gelatos, muffeletta, turtle soup, brisket, rice and beans, pralines, etc.

Candy was a great guide! She was funny, entertaining and very knowledgable about the history of the French Quarter and New Orleans. Not only did we sample some of the most amazing food NOLA had to offer, we learned a lot about some of the most influential people of the city. I had a great time and would definitely reccommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a bit of history, culture and culinary facts.
