| I liked being able to go inside the restaurants and see the dining rooms. Tasting was an added bonus! Also a good way to orient to the French Quarter. |

| Go on an empty stomach. Nice insiders view of some wonderful restaurants when they're empty and you can wander and see the history / decor. Good overview of origins of local cuisine. Would like to see and hear a little more contemporary history of NOLA cuisine. Overall good fun. |

| Historical and cultural info was interesting along with the tour of the restaurant dining rooms. The various tastings were also good.
It was unfortunate though that the Herman Grimma house was closed on the Saturday we visited (as it is on all Saturdays). Since this 19th century home / kitchen / and cooking methods was advertised as one of the main stops / activities, it was very disappointing that we did not get to go there. Since it is closed every Saturday, it seems that some adjustment should be made for this omission -- either a cut in the cost of the tour or a visit to some other similar location. |

| MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK THE CULINARYHISTORY AND TASTING TOUR WHILE VISITING NO A FEW WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN BOSTON (NORTH END) AND WE WERE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THE DIFFERENT FOODS AND CULTURE OF NO. VERY INFORMATIVE; HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT RESTAURANTS WE MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT HAVE HAD THE TIME TO SEE AND TO TASTE SOME OF THE FLAVORS OF NO. I.E.. GUMBO, MUFFALATAS, PECAN TARTS. GUIDE WAS GREAT. CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR ENOUGH! |

| My husband and I took this tour a few weeks ago and thought that the tour was both fun and educational. We enjoyed sampling the food and learning about some of the historic restaurants in New Orleans. |

| We've done several tours through NOLA but this one was really unique. We loved the "behind the scenes" tours of famous French Quarter restaurants and the history of various cuisines. Our tour guide, Kelly, was very knowledgeable about her subject and very friendly. The food and drinks we tasted were a nice blend of typical New Orleans type dishes. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone. |

| Enjoyed this walking tour very much. Bill was a wealth of information about local architecture and history as well as our multiple restaurant stops on the culinary tour. It was a near-private tour with just two of us in the Friday afternoon group! I will certainly enjoy a longer future trip to New Orleans so there's time to patronize a few more of the respected establishments we visited... thanks again, this was a great overview! |

overall a positive experience

| Quite formative, the guide was great.
I had expected more tastings based on the advertising of the event, but would recommend it to others. |

| This is the best way to learn about New Orleans, its restaurants and cuisine. You get to find out the best "locals" places, the expensive but historically rich places, the food and people. You get to go inside some of the closed restaurants (afternoon tour) and view what they are like (open only for dinner due to Katrina and not yet resuming full hours). The samples help you to explore what you may never have thought about tasting or known existed and should taste. It will definitely peak your taste buds. Unfortunately for us it came at the end of our trip, but... we did go to one of the restaurants twice for breakfast. It has helped us to plan our trip for next year as to which places are definite musts. |
