Fantastic Atlanta Food & Cemetery Tour! - We had an amazing time on the Atlanta Food and Cemetery Tour. The food was excellent, especially the stops in Grant Park—every bite was delicious and well chosen. The cemetery visit was fascinating and beautifully done, adding so much depth and character to the experience. Our guide did a great job tying together the history, stories, and food. Their knowledge and enthusiasm really brought everything to life and made the tour both educational and fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Atlanta’s history and food scene in a unique and memorable way!

The tour was a great... - The tour was a great combination of tasty food, education, and entertainment. Ariel was magnificent bringing Atlanta history to life. Very fun and engaging. I lived in Atlanta for 12 years in the late 80s/90s and I learned more during these three hours about the city than I did during that time.

Bones and bites - Great tour with Arielle! The food was delicious and the portions were very generous for "tasting". The walk through the cemetery was fascinating and Arielle managed to make it full of historic fact and fun, at the same time. Highly recommended!

Wonderful food and Oakland Cemetery tour! - Arielle, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about the area, the food, and the inhabitants of the Oakland Cemetery. Her gift of storytelling was captivating, and we learned so much history along the way. Food tastings were delightful, plentiful, and spot on for southern food. We are locals and very much enjoyed this tour!

Great way to sample great food and learn about Atlanta history around Grant Park. - Today I thoroughly enjoyed the Grant Park Food and Oakland Cemetery tour. Delaney made it entertaining while sharing anecdotes and history about Atlanta’s rich love affair with food and famous characters. We were a group of four and she easily engaged each of us on three hour tour. Never felt rushed and easily accomplished my daily steps. Delaney is passionate Atlantan determined to continue to assist in shaping the future of Atlanta while acknowledging its colorful history. Loved every minute of it. Whether a local or a visitor this is great way to spend a few hours.
