French Quarter Culinary History and Tasting 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!

george was nice. food was great. fun afternoon. would do it again.

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.

We had a delightful time. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, which made the afternoon fly by. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys food. It was appropriate the tour ended with a delicious rum cake. Thanks.

I thought I would learn more about the infusion of culture in New Orleans cuisine.

One of the best tours we have taken. We have lived in New Orleans for 35 years & booked this tour with friends from Scottsdale Arizona, who have visited New Orleans many times. Sally, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on both the history of New Orleans & the restaurants we visited. We were a little disapointed that Brennan's did not provide a sample of anything, a taste of bananas foster would have fit well, & the brisket at Tujague's was cut with the grain & not cross grain ( a little stringy) Nothing that ruined the experience, but noticeable. Galatorie's & Arnaud's would be a nice addition to this tour also, in the same vicinity & also with a wonderful history.

To be from Louisisana, this tour gave great insight into the culinary traditions of a magnificent city. The guide was very informative and a chef himself. You learn about other things as well, not just food. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the cuisine of the Big Easy. Some of the oldest and greatest restaurants in the city. Tour guide was actually funny, unlike some.

The locations were beautiful and interesting, but our tour guide brought it all to life. Without her, the magic would have been missing. Sincerely, Eric Guiel, Massachusetts

I enjoyed the history lesson on New Orleans as well as the samples of the delicious cuisine. My whole group had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of this unique town as well as anyone who loves food.
