As a newbie to the Atlanta area I was really interested in this tour because of both the introduction to the area history, along with getting to sample some delicious food from downtown restaurants. I was blown away. The food was amazing, the stroll enjoyable, the talks in between stops were fascinating ...all adding up to an A+ experience! I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a memorable experience!

This is a truly unique concept and right up my alley. A walking tour incorporating food, beverages, history of Atlanta, rarely seen parts of the city and a group of friends. Brilliant. Akila does a wonderful job at accommodating each persons individual dietary needs/requirements, physical limitations and inquiries. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors and residences alike. You think you know Atlanta? You do not know this city until you've seen -- and tasted it -- it through this tour.

Akila was a wonderful tour guide. She's so down to earth and really makes you feel like you've known her for a long time. The food itself was amazing!!! Every stop was well thought out and, I felt, were perfectly spaced. I absolutely love the way Akila weaves history throughout the tour in a creative way that keeps you interested. This tour was well worth the money spent! It was truly an amazing experience that I would suggest everyone should do when in the great city of Atlanta.
