Chef Brandon was amazing, so funny, and so informative! My boyfriend and I had so much fun, and are so excited to go back to California knowing the roots of real gumbo! (And how to correctly make it!)

AMAZING

Brandon was a great 'teacher's.  He explained various options to prepare and cook Gumbo, Jambalaya & Pralines. He also included history of his LA upbringing, and background of the history of cooking in various regions of Southern Louisiana. Food was delicious and all had a good time.

Pat did an amazing job of sharing New Orleans rich history while teaching us the delicious dishes she made. Wonderful morning of food and fun!

Cooking Class- NO School of Cooking

Our chef Pat was just great, giving us great cooking tips as well as a history of New Orleans food culture. The whole experience was very enjoyable, including chatting with other guests at round tables. When you figure that you also get lunch, we felt it was a good value.

For me as a celiac (can't eat wheat/flour), the eating part was a bit unsatisfying. The 'dietary restriction' meal seemed to be the same for vegetarian or celiac. So I was served a veggie gumbo and a veggie creole sauce on rice. Meh. This is the only part of things that could be a lot better.

Loved this History of NOLA through Food Culture

Every year during our annual vacation, we book the 10:00 cooking school. Each year it is a different chef instructing. It is entertaining, educational, you get instruction sheets on how it is being made, then after watching the chef prepare it, you get to eat it!  You learn about local food tradition and history of the people that brought those food traditions into the area. I highly recommend this activity even if you don’t do the cooking in your household.

Great each time...

Chef Rene was a great instructor for the demonstration cooking class.  Funny, historically informative and of course his jambalaya, gumbo, bread pudding and pralines were amazing!

Exquisitely Delicious

Pat, our chef for the experience was delightful. She was entertaining and gave great history of the area. She was conversational and it wasn't like she was following a script. The food was delicious and she made us all confident that we could make the recipes at home! The best part of our New Orleans trip!

Amazing Experience!

Very interesting, informative and delicious. Loved it and enjoyed shopping in the general store. Thanks.

Cemetery tour

There are so many tours going on an once that it really takes away from the creep factor. Kendall had good stories, but he added way too many unimportant details and lost my attention. However, I got A LOT of pics with orbs, and even some with figures!

Too crowded, but a fun experience

Our tour guide was Fernando. He was energetic and knowledgeable. We had a group of 7 of us from Orlando and he took time to get to know us a bit. He does speak very fast which was a bit difficult at times. But that would not stop me from having him again as my tour guide if I were to go again. I highly recommend the night time cemetery tour and will tell my friends to take it when they are in New Orleans.

Fun and entertaining

Chris did an amazing job on our tour! He was very knowledgeable and hilarious! Definitely a must!

Dartanya lead us thoroughly through the history on the French Quarter and was very insightful and entertaining.  She didn’t rush, encouraged questions and opened my eyes to a different perspective of the area and history.  I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.  Just bring water as it’s warm even at night.

Excellent guide

The tour was ok. Much of the information was made up or very general. Our guide made it fun and was entertaining. Not scary or historical at all if that’s what you’re looking for.

Guide was terrific and Ivan the mule stories were funny and kept us laughing the whole time. Lots of interesting history.

Lucas was a great tour guide filled with a lot of interesting information

Tourist

Our tour guide was Jonathon and our mule was Blondie.  They were both amazing!  We decided to splurge on the carriage ride and we are so happy that we did!  You can bring drinks and relax while you take the tour.  It was nice to take a break from walking and we got to see a lot of cool parts of the quarter that we wouldn't have otherwise seen.  JOnathon was very informative and a great story teller.  Our kids loved him! Would highly recommend!
