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

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!
