I lived in Atlanta for 16 years, and yet I never spent much time downtown. I love food tours, so I was so excited to try this one, and it was excellent! I got to explore a part of the city I never knew much about, I learned a lot about the history of Atlanta and the south, and I got to try so much delicious food. Akila really knows her stuff, and I would highly recommend this tour. You won't leave hungry!

I've spent some time in Atlanta but I had no idea how interesting and cool this city was! This was my very first food walking tour and boy, has this tour set some high expectations. It was a beautiful 75 degree day in Atlanta with a friendly walking tour through the city. In my mind, southern food and vegetarian fare don't necessarily go together but Akila's tour was very vegetarian friendly. The vegetarian substitutions were filling and lip smackin' good. Fried okra at Pashcal's, smoked portabella at the Smoke Ring, and yummy yummy grits at Sweet Auburn Seafood. I also enjoyed learning about the history of Atlanta, the roots of the Civil rights movement, and wander these hallowed streets. Akila was a great guide!. She is very knowledgeable about ATL, the history, and the influences of southern food. (Srsly, I had no idea how complex sourthern food and history was!) I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, exploring a city on foot, and enjoys history! It is a great way to spend a couple of hours in Atlanta!

I've lived in Atlanta for almost 18 years and I learned so much going on this food tour! Akila/AFW has done an amazing job of seamlessly weaving Atlanta's rich history while tasting so many delicious foods! The tour has a perfect combination of savory and sweet, in all the right amounts so you can indulge and yet not feel too full since you are walking the whole time! My favorite was definitely the fried chicken at Paschals! I highly recommend taking this tour; a great idea even if you are from the area! Bring your friends and family and make a day out of it! You wont regret it :)
