David Westbrook is not a kind and professional person and I DO NOT RECOMMEND him or his tours in NOLA or anywhere for that fact.

We have much enjoyed our time in New Orleans and have no hesitation about paying “top dollar” for high quality experiences. This tour was promoted as a educative culinary and cultural experience, where we would “meet the people behind the scenes.” It wasn’t! i) Poor quality destinations - bars serving food; ii) indifferent quality and meagre portions of food on offer - small cups of jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans with rice; iii) only water was offered unless we asked and paid for other beverages; iv) absolutely no engagement with “people behind the scenes.” On the contrary, one establishment had released our seats to “their customers” and we had to wait in the street until alternative upstairs seating was arranged; v) of the 16 paying customers, four left before the end of the tour. This wasn’t an inexpensive culinary tour. It cost $85 per person to participate. We were very disappointed.

Laurent provided an exquisite experience and this was our favorite tour out of four that we took while in Née Orleans. Highly recommend this tour.
