| We have enjoyed our culinary tour of New Orleans.
Our guide knows a lot of the culinary delights of NO (although she can't answer my question, why New Orleans is called 'the Big Easy').
The three hours went by without us feeling tired or bored.
The variation of the food is OK, alhough maybe a 'Jambalaya' could be added. |

| The tour was great with an overall history of the city and local fare. We got to sample several Cajun and Creole types of cuisine. Our guide was great and we walked the French Quarter at a good pace. Never strenuous. Overall, I would highly recommend the tour if time permits. It takes about 3 hours. |

| Sampling the food from mutiple restaurants and stops along the way was great. We got to meet the owners of a couple of the places. (The Gelato and the Absinthe Bar at the end where we ate rum cake.) The inside tour of Antione's and the Brennan restarant was informative and full of great NOLA heritage. Great tour , great guide, great resturants. Highly recommend this casual and relaxing tour. |

| Using the on-line reservations was very easy. And the follow-up e-mails were a nice reminder. |

| This was a fun and interesting tour which gave us insight into how all the food was influenced by other countries. We got to start out at the oldest restaurant and see a little behind the scenes and taste the food. It was great. We then went onto a praline/candy store and then more restaurants where we were able to try different foods native to New Orleans. It was a fun and delicious time with a great and knowledgeable tour guide. |

| The best tour i've ever been on in NOLA!!! Lots of history on the city and on key restaraunts in the French Quarter from a local chef with a ton of experience and knowledge. Great food tastings along the way and plenty of food to serve as a late lunch. Detailed knowldege of the dishes we were served as well as the local cusiine plus most places we stoped offered discounts if we wanted to come back during our trip for a meal or for items from their store. All in all a wonderful value. Screw the horse ride, take this and you will not be let down. Great for a foodie! |

| The tour guide appeared scruffy and unkempt, which I found very unappealing for a food tour. Our meeting location -- Antoine's -- was a very nice restaurant, and the opening presentation and first food samples were nice, but things quickly went downhill. The time spent in Antoine's viewing rooms and collectibles I found far too lengthy to keep my interest, and not culinary-related. From there, we went to one or two more restaurants for walk-throughs, more city history and no food samples! After being told the significance of a fire hydrant on the street -- which I found to be totally irrelevant -- I lost hope for the tour. It picked up a bit at the last three stops because we did get samples.
I found the tour guide to be uninteresting and the food samples only okay, at best.
I would not advise anyone to spend $43 for this tour. Instead, take the money and enjoy a meal at a nice restaurant . |

| Guide did not provide enough nexus between historical
and culinary facts--fortunately, other guests on the tour
were able to fill in.
Tasting portion was exceptional. |

Expectations were higher.

| Originally read about this culinary tour in Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sounded great. Slightly disappointed by assortment of food exposed to. Tour description said we would learn differences between cajun and creole and their influence on New Orleans cuisine. That wasn't really addressed. Also said tour duration would be three hours but in actuality was over in less than 2-1/2 hours. Would have liked to visited more places and heard more about local cuisine. Expected more value for the price. |
