    Our tour guides were great! We loved the "Taste Like a Chef" segment. Only complaint was the trays for the Taste Like a Chef segment were late arriving due to staff shortage.

    Cute tour. No food was involved. Learned about the history of the school and about the essentials of your senses. Would totally recommend the tour and the experience as you support the students.

    This is a very interesting and worthwhile tour of The IIA. Our the lecture hall portion is comprised of two videos \. One is an overview of culinary history in the US and the history and role CIA plays in that history up to current day. The other is an interactive video detailing tastes and flavors. The walking portion is brief but informative however our student tour guides voice was completely overpowered by a male fellow student tour guides booming voice.

    An excellent way to spend an hour or so learning about the history of CIA and a brief class on food tasting. The cost funds students scholarships. Highly recommend
