We really LOVED our food tour with Joy! Even a little bit of rain sprinkling down in the beginning of the day didn't put a pall on it. Joy was fantastic, and great fun to walk through Atlanta with, and the food was awesome! Almost the best part of the tour was learning so much of the history of Atlanta and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We so appreciated such a lovely afternoon! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone even remotely interested!

From beginning to end I enjoyed my experience as a guest on the Grant Park Food Tour! If you love the history of Atlanta or want to learn more about the history of Atlanta, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take this tour. New to Atlanta? Visiting for the first time? The Grant Park tour would be a great introduction to Atlanta. Not only was the food great (especially the pimento cheese), but Akila our tour guide was FANTASTIC! Everything went smooth, she was super knowledgeable and very sweet. Check it out!

This is a great way to experience a day in Atlanta, whether you are a local or visiting from out of town. If you enjoy food, history and walking, this will be a great tour for you. I am a Georgia native and was fascinated to learn about all of the people and the events from the civil rights era that make this area and food special. The food stops along the tour were all unique and it was interesting hear about the origin of the types of food and how southern cuisine was created. Our tour guide, David, was engaging and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed his passion for the food and the history of Atlanta. We had a wonderful time!
