A “must do” Atlanta experience - This was an excellent tour. Kristen was an outstanding tour guide — balancing a deeply rooted understanding of the history around us with a light and entertaining style. …. The food tastings were plentiful, varied and very tasty. We have already recommended the tour to friends and family. Well worth the expense. An Atlanta “must do” for visitors.

Great history and food - Courtney was a great tour guide and we learned a lot about the history of Atlanta! The weather was rainy and cold but that didn’t deter us. The food was awesome and we highly recommend this tour!

Joy was the guide for our... - Joy was the guide for our tour. She was wonderful and knowledgeable as she told us about Atlanta's history. She explained how food was integral to its past. We stopped at two wonderful restaurants where we enjoyed fried catfish, okra, parmesan bites and pork belly toast. Everything was delicious. We toured Oakland Cemetery, saw beautiful gravestone architecture and learned about some of Atlanta's famous past individuals. Joy made the tour interesting and engaging. We absolutely loved her and thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

A perfect food tour with a southern flare - This is a great tour to learn a little about Atlanta, Oakland cemetery, and experience some really great food. Courtney, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and provided a great theatrical twist. My wife and I are native Atlantans and learned a bit about our city and enjoyed some local food as well. A must do if you have a few hours.
