Emma was great. Very personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. We had a small group but thankfully we all got in well through the whole experience. The food was amazing from all locations and the insight into Atlanta history was informative. I also appreciated that input/comments from the group was welcomed. It was also amazing that one of the owners from a restaurant actually served our food. I had an adverse on to sea food and they were able to get me a vegetarian option that was so delicious I didn’t feel left out. I would gladly engage with this company again.

Tour guide Arielle was great! Knowledgeable and entertaining. Food was excellent and I have some restaurants to return to. I did an Oakland Cemetery tour recently but I learned some new things and saw some new sights on this tour.
