We took a trip to Atlanta to celebrate my birthday and chose this tour as my birthday dinner. The tour is based in midtown Atlanta, an area chock full of excellent restaurants. Our tour guide, John, is an excellent host. He gave a quick overview of the history of the area, but concentrated on the food, restaurants, and the neighborhood. He is a delightful guide, with entertaining stories and extensive knowledge of Atlanta, its people, and its food scene. His choice of restaurants is superb with a wide variety of tastes and treats in the five stops on the walking tour. I won't name the restaurants since John keeps them a surprise, but all of them were fabulous. Every course was fantastic and each was totally different. They reflected the vitality and diversity of the midtown Atlanta neighborhood. You do not need to be a "foodie" to appreciate it. If you are going to Atlanta and enjoy good food and great story telling, this is a "must do" event.
In addition, this was also one of the best walking tours that I have experienced. It was only the second food tour that I have done, but I believe that I agree with John when he said to do a food tour on your first visit to a city. This gives you a great introduction to the city and its life.
Overall, this was an incredible experience and I give it my highest recommendation.

Matthew, You are the best! What a terrific review! More and more often my Food Tour has been a Birthday celebration...even anniversaries(!)...and to be able to walk about, taste, sip, chat, grin...and even laugh out loud...this all becomes the memories of a fabulous afternoon!
I love Atlanta but, most particularly, my Midtown neighborhood! I'm sure that you figured out early on into the Food Tour why my sweet Jeri and I wouldn't live anywhere else...in the world!!
My best!! John
