If you are looking for something fun to do while learning some of the history of Atlanta, this is it! Akila, our tour guide, was very knowledgable about the history of Atlanta. The food was amazing. We even had an unexpected surprise of being in the background of The Real Housewives of Atlanta at Just Add Honey. It was exciting! I loved how Akila showed us the artwork around the city and explained the stories behind them. I highly recommend this to anyone!
