This tour is a "Must Do" in downtown Atlanta! Akila, the owner and tour guide, is very knowledgeable and passionate about southern food and history. We stopped at 7 food establishments and tasted 15 different food items. Not only was there an amazing amount of southern food but we also learned the history and inspiration behind our tastings. The tasting locations are a perfect combination of food and beverages. It is also nice to have some comfortable seated tastings at the majority of the locations. There are many opportunities to use the restrooms at stops along the way. Between eating delectable food and sipping refreshing beverages, we learned about interesting history, diverse culture and unique architecture. Akila is a wealth of knowledge and eager to to share her love and passion for food and Atlanta with her guests. I own a walking food tour company in Marietta and participate in food tours often when I travel and would highly recommend this food tour. It is a great way to spend 3.5 hours, you will not regret it!

Akila knows her stuff. This is a walking tour 3.5 hours +/- where you'll learn Atlanta history, trivia, past, present, and future, and enjoy some great southern food. 1 - You'll be walking! Use sunscreen, hat, good shoes, maybe a water bottle (but every stop you make there is plenty of water to drink) 2 - Look up and look at the ground. You don't want to miss a thing. You walk among the culture, streets, buildings, and people of Atlanta and it all becomes alive . 3 - The food is delicious. Each stop has different tastes. You never get full or uncomfortable. You come away feeling like you've eaten but you're not stuffed. Savor the aromas and spices. 4 - Ask questions. Akila knows the answer and is eager to teach and share. 5 - It's not dressy and the sidewalks and streets can be uneven so wear what will be comfortable. I did not bring a purse, just stuffed some necessities in my pockets. 6 - I wish I had parked at the end and taxied to the beginning. I would have stayed and shopped at the Sweet Auburn Market. 7 - Probably not for young children as it is long and not entertaining for them. A must do if you're a history buff, foodie, or just like new types of entertainment.
