Renee did a wonderful job. The tour was thorough without being too overwhelming and long without being too long. Perfect!

Guide was less than stellar

Apparently the long time guide who has received so much praise retired suddenly and our tour was led by an assistant. He was not very knowledgable. Most of what he imparted was repeated by a local creole cook we visited. And he creeped out our 25 year old daughter. Also, don't come expecting to eat some of the finer cuisine. We walked through fine restaurants, but that's not where we did the tasting! The local creole cook was good though and I did learn new techniques. Too bad we missed the original tour guide.

Fascinating exposure to New Orleans culture & food

Good tour, although slightly overpriced in relation to the lack of any significant food tastings. I was under the impression from the promotion that we really would experience more tastings. In two of the restaurants, Antoine's and Brennans, there were no treats. Tour price should range from $25 - $35.

The tour was interesting and provided information about both historical and new eating establishments. The guide was knowledgeable, but a bit soft spoken and hard to follow. The cooking demonstration was great!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this tour very much. George, our host was great, full of insightful infomation. The weather was perfect for this tour so we really enjoyed walking all over the French Quarter. I will be telling all of our friends about it! Great times!

The tour was very interesting and informative because the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. It was a good combination of well-known up-scale restaurants and smaller, lesser known places, which gave me an idea of the rich culinary tradition of New Orleans. The food samples provided a taste of local specialties as well as some new and different things. I would recommend this tour highly.

Unexpected Fun Time

Didn't know full extent of what to expect on tour beforehand but was very pleased. Not only were the sampled foods delicious, but the history and knowledge that the tour guide imparted was informative and entertaining without being teachy. We went to places that we never would have gone on our own and were grateful for the experience! So recommend this tour to all! Easy walk for geriatrics and it was one of the high points in NOLA for our 30 something kids.
