“Gentleman was amazing about how much information he knew about the New Orleans area history, geography and its people. As this was billed as a food tour, having more snacks/ tastings earlier or at a more regular interval would have been better than having most of them at the end. This really was / is not a foodie food tour. This is an amazing cultural information tour with a tasting of New Orleans. don’t get me wrong you will not be hungry by the end of it.”
