Wow, what can I say about this food tour. This was our first trip to Atlanta and what better way to start off our trip. My wife found John's tour on TripAdvisor. I called John and tried to book the tour for Saturday. He already had a tour that was filled earlier in the day. He was willing to accommodate us later in the evening though. Then he suggested another option. Starting off our trip with the tour. I am so glad he suggested this. We got off the plane and went to our hotel. We dropped our bags and headed to the meeting location John had given us. The whole time we were in constant contact by text or phone. His main concern was us feeling relaxed. I do not want to give any of his food tour locations away. Being surprised about what is coming next was a big part in making the tour great. What I can say is that EVERY location was AMAZING. John starts out with a brief history of the area. What makes his tour great and special is that he lives there. Right in the area you will be walking. He is very proud to have lived there for 18 years and cant wait to show you his neighborhood. Through out the tour he incorporates stories of his own life and family that adds that personal touch. There is no clock watching. We never felt rushed. We only felt like we were on a walk with an old friend. I could go on and on but I will leave you with two final thoughts. First is this food tour is a MUST if you visit Atlanta. Second is the only critique I have about the tour. John mentions his wonderful wife Jerry several times through out the tour. We felt like we actually knew her. The only disappointment was that on this trip we never got to meet her. I can assure you when we take this tour again on our next visit to Atlanta I will insist she make an appearance. Thanks for a great memorable time.

Wow!..is right! What a fabulous review! My sweet Jeri and I were reading it together and she started grinning...I mean BIG grinning...when she got to the "critique" you shared. Yep! Jeri is a large part of the stories I weave about my Midtown Atlanta neighborhood...and why we wouldn't live anywhere else! So that you two can have that face-to-face experience, so that you'll understand quickly why she's everything a South Carolina belle should be...we are coming to NYC...and soon! We are looking forward to the M&M insider Food Tour of your neighborhood! What fun that will be! My best to you both! I'll stay in touch! John (and sweet Jeri!)

I would highly recommend this food tour to those visiting the Atlanta and those who call it home. The food was delicious and unique. Our tour guide John was very accommodating and FUN! I rode my bike to the starting point and he provided me a safe place to store my bike. John is very knowledgable about local restaurants as well as other great sights to see around town and more importantly when to see them. I am planning on taking John's night tour in December because of how much I enjoyed my first experience.

Ha! I still laugh when you told me that you would be showing up on a bike! "John, where can I park this?" That was a first...and I've been doing Food Tours for awhile! Jessica, Thanks for your lovely review! Who knew that a "tasting" adventure in Midtown Atlanta would be so much fun...and quite the pleasant break from classes! TA readers: Jessica also had a comment during our walk-about that is worth repeating. She has been in Atlanta for several months now, new to my city, working on an advanced degree, and said, "Gosh, I wish I had done this when I first got here. I had no idea what Midtown had to offer!" Yep! Go on a Food Tour the first chance you get. Not only a hands-on experience with lots of restaurants but your guide will have lots of other city tips and advice. So...Jessica...I'll be looking for you in December! Give me a buzz! Sweet discounts for repeat guests! Even free bike parking! My best! John

I have to admit - I am VERY hard to impress. I cannot adequately express just how amazing this food tour was. When it was over, I felt like a little kid who had just gotten off of an amusement park ride saying, "I wanna go again!!!" The food was as good as I have had anywhere, and each stop impressed even more than the last, but what made this food tour one of the best things I have EVER done in Atlanta, was our leader, John. You see, I am a local. I drive on Peachtree every day of my life, but I have never walked it, and I've never taken the time to get to know it. Through John's stories and historic perspective, I could see this beautiful part of the city over a century ago as it once was: Proud at times, vulnerable at others, but mostly resilient and now thriving. If you do only one thing while you are in Atlanta....do THIS. If you are a local, be a tourist for just one day. You will appreciate our city so much more after. I can't wait to take my family when they come visit over the holidays!

Wow, Julie! What a fabulous "local" review! When Atlantans are on my Tour my favorite comment is "I didn't know that!" or even better is the acknowledgement that Peachtree Street is a whole lot more fun when you're...walking!! You were an absolute treat to watch as each stop became the "best" stop...until the next stop! More than once I heard you exclaim, "This is amazing!" I love my neighborhood and to watch you grow in your appreciation for my little piece of paradise was a joy!! Let's do this again...and soon! My best always! John
