We took in the flavors, culture, and history of the South by going on Food Walk Tour! Joy, our guide, made those 3.5 hours speed by! All the food was excellent, and Joy's knowledge about Atlanta was certainly fun and informative. I highly recommend Atlanta Food Walk for anyone who has teens, is a foodie, or just wants to take in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of great Southern food!

This was my first food tour in our home city of Atlanta, I thought it would be cool to sample some area restaurants. I took a coworker and we had a blast. it was an unexpectedly cooler day for Atlanta, which made the walking around very pleasant. Our tour guide new a lot of history of Atlanta as we toured the area. The food tastings were very good and decent samples that wanted you to eat more. We definitely will try some of them again.

New to Atlanta and LOVED this tour. Our tour guide Joy made it feel like we were out for a day with a best friend. The food was yummy (we are vegetarians and accommodations were no problem) and the history rich and interesting. Going to give it as a gift and highly recommend for visitors and Atlantans as well.
