The tour was great and I learned so much about my own city. Emily was a super fun, personable and engaging guide. The one thing I might change is that the food didn’t feel particularly notable/unique to Atlanta. It was all plenty tasty, but felt a little generic (except for the pastries, which I would eat every day of my life). Overall, I recommend this tour to tourists and locals alike!

I'm so glad you had a fun time on our Grant Park food tour! Emily loves giving tours to locals. I'm a big home town Atlanta tourist my self. Little Tart is so delicious! I know what you mean about the other restaurants but you'd be amazed how many (non southerners) have never had grits.
