My husband and really enjoyed the food tour. The restaurants that were chosen were all great and we can't wait to go back to visit them. Our guide Akila was very knowledgeable about the history of the food and Atlanta as well. We learned alot. Can not wait to do it again.

This was a fantastic tour! Akila McConnell gave an in depth history of Atlanta and Dr. Martin Luther King (did not know he was born Michael King Jr)! She was very knowledgeable on the fabulous street art along our walk and background of each restaurant we visited. The food was FABULOUS but the Strawberry Moonshine (not required) was excellent!! It's a good bit of walking so wear cool clothes and good walking shoes!!

This was one of the best food tours i have every been on !!! I always feel a lil lost and out of place in Atlanta . I never quite know what good restaurants to go to and even though Atlanta is one of the key places for Civil Rights history I never really got to see those places. Our guide made me fall in love with Atlanta. She has a even mix of history and food appreciation . Im bringing my family the next time I go to Atlanta
