French Quarter Culinary History and Tasting Tour

Guide was knowledgable and personable. Restaurants were enticing. Food was delicious!

The tour was good and informative, but I found it a little long. I believe it was, for me, because I have been to New Orleans many times and taken many other tours. So I have heard most before, but not all. The others traveling with me enjoyed it also. Randy was knowledgable and entertaining. The food samples were very nice. Good if you are a foodie.

Renee was our guide and she did a fantastic job of telling the history and special tidbits about the palces. The samples helped us decide where to make reservations to eat two evenings. We had two who coould not make the trip for medical reasons. I wish we could have gotten their money returned.

We had a great time on the tour. It was full of information. After three visits to New Orleans I finally got my culinary questions answered. Randy was our guide. He was funny, informative and passionate about his town! My only concern was that the tour is to long. Two hour that would be better. There were 17 in our group on Saturday and by hour 2 in more than half had left the tour. We also dined at one of the restaurants from the tour that night and Randy was right...it was great! We will be trying the others on our return trip to New Orleans next year! Thanks Louise

Good history of N.O. and its culinary history. Not as good organization by guide of tour .... too much sfanding/waiting..... too many commecials for stops... All enjoyed tour but expressed same complaint about Randy. Four were planning a Segway tour next day till they realized Randy was guide.

We had a great tour. Our tour guide was very informative - who would have known there was so much cullinary history in one city? I would definately recommend to all of my foodie friends.

I loved the tour guide Randy--he was lots of fun and very knowledgable--however, we were anticipating more actual tasting--by 4:00 in the afternoon all we had eaten was a part of a praline and a tiny dixie cup of gumbo. I came with my appetite so was dissappointed that the tour didn't offer much in the way of actual food. Finally we got a tiny muffaleta (disappointing), a piece of rum cake that I never would ordinarily have eaten, (but I was ravenous), and a small bit of roast beef (delicious). So I would recommend the tour, but have lunch first!

A group of four of us took this tour on Sept. 13, 2008. It lasted about three hours and visited about half a dozen sites. The tour guide was informative, but an inordinate amount of the narrative consisted of general New Orleans history rather than focusing on food. In fact, food was only marginally related to this tour, IMO. We received sample cuisine at exactly three locations, and one of those was a praline shop! Not great value for money considering what they charge for this tour, and I thought it was drastically overpriced -- $20 would be more realistic than $45. We won't take it again or recommend it to friends.

Our tour guide Renee did an excellent job of taking us through a whirlwind of food and history that really brought the French Quarter to life for us! Renee was Knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. We will be recommending this tour to all of our friends and plan to do it again the next time we're in New Orleans.

You complete this tour feeling like you have the "inside scoop" on some great restaurants, and knowing why New Orleans' cuisine is unique. Randy, our tour guide was entertaining, endearingly funny and informative. This was my second time to go on this tour -- the restaurants were changed up a bit -- so it was just as interesting as the first tour. This tour gives you a great overview and whets your appetite for going back to these restaurants to dine on your own. The three hours go by too quickly and there are plenty of chances to sit down and rest. I highly recommend this tour!
