| 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. |

| Chef George was knowledgeble, funny, and a great host. The tour was much more that we expected. The tasting were pure NOLA. The sites well -planned out. The history fascinating. Would recommend this to anyone that visits NOLA. We plan on another tour with the same company when we return to Louisiana. |

| The guide was very knowlegable about the history of the resturants and about the history of the culture, food and historical buildings. It was raining hard at the beginning through half way through the tour, but the guide was very professional and handled the diifficult situation very well. The tour was very worthwhile & worth the price. |

| The New Orleans food tour was very good. The guide was very knowledgable about the history and food culture of the area and its many influences. I appreciated that she had us sit or go inside whenever possible because it was very hot outside and the sun was very bright. There was plenty of food, although I have had a wider variety on similarly priced food tours in New York city. Overall I do highly recommend the tour! |

| Not only was the food delicious, the history was fascinating. Our tour guide, Renee, clearly knows her stuff and is enthusiastic about teaching it to her tour groups. I would recommend this tour to anyone who travels to New Orleans. My husband and I had two 16 year old boys with us and they enjoyed it as much as we did. |

| Guide was laid-back, casual - but local - with local roots and local lore abounding! His stories made the city and the food "come to life" and told the history of New Orleans in a very memorable and understandable way! Exactly what a good guide should do!
The visits were interesting - fun - and we were warmly welcomed - not just "hustled through". Having other local cooks, chefs, entreprenuers so eagerly talk about their food, their business, their culture and their lives is what makes this tour so special.
Great for all ages! just be prepared for walking!
After this tour, one is ready to really try the restaurants and neighborhoods of New Orleans! It should be "required" of all meeting planners/ convention planners BEFORE they make arrangements in the city!
If you want to sell New Orleans - sell the history of the cuisine - and the cuisine! |

| We very much enjoyed our Culinary History and Tasting Tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. All the food on the tour was delicious. Although the tour is almost 3 hours, it goes very fast. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a "taste" of New Orleans food and the French Quarter area. |
