The food was great, and the history knowledge that was shared, made it even better! The walking part also added to the experience of seeing different places, and Suzy, the guide, also gave suggestions of different food places to visit.

Phenomenal experience. Russell is a great tour guide and super knowledgeable about New Orleans, having lived there his entire life. The food was great, and this experience was the best part of our trip.

Jack was a fantastic tour guide and did a nice job of herding our group safely around the French Quarter. We go to try a variety of wonderful things -- I won't spoil the surprise for those who want to go. He was knowledgeable about culture and personable and friendly. We had really nice people on our tour as well.

Great experience. Russell was very knowledgeable and great fun. He gave us a lot of background and history of New Orleans along with the history of each of the dishes. We were very happy with the service and the food from every place we visited.
