I booked a tour with John for my daughter's 18th birthday. He set it all up and was able to handle a group of 9 16-18 year old girls. John was sweet enough to change a couple of stops on the tour to accommodate an entire group of non-drinkers. The girls had a blast. Most of them had never done a food tour and they thought it was a very unique and fun way to spend an afternoon. We can't wait to take the tour with our adult friends now. John did a super job and it is a great way to see some sights in Atlanta.

Thanks, Diane! My past experience as a Dad of three teenage boys...and having taught High School, made for a lot of fun for all of us! What a wonderful group of funny, well-behaved young ladies! And...you were spot on with the unique "surprise" birthday gift as a Food Tour! It's sometimes hard to figure out what makes for a meaningful gift and 4 hours with C.'s girlfriends created some wonderful quality time together. With 10 phones taking photos (lots of selfies!) there certainly is plenty of proof that there was a lot of food and fun! Thanks again for trusting me to provide a memorable Sunday afternoon! Next up? An adult Tour for C.'s parents...and bring some friends! My best! John

I have been on a few food tours around the world, and what sets John's apart is... John! He knows the history, the people and of course the food. I liked the fact we had to walk through the history with him, and of course the food was tasty and with meaning. I went back to one of the restaurants for dinner late that evening and had another brilliant meal (picture of the lobster - not part of the tour) which I would have never had otherwise. Do the tour early in your trip to Atlanta and your trip will be richer for it!

D. - Always a pleasure to have visitors to Atlanta on my Food Tour, even when you live 20+ hours away...by plane! And...always a treat to have a guest that has been on any number of Food Tours around the world! Here's a big smile back to you when you think about that "World's Best Burger"....that you can't get in Australia! Ha! Thanks for taking the time to post a review! The next time you're in Atlanta, let's do this again! I'll figure out some different food...but same fun! (You do know that I make up all of the stories I tell!!!) My best! John

As a suburban Atlantan, I don't get to spend a lot of time in downtown ATL. I had never done a food tour and definitely wouldn't have thought to do one in my own "back yard". I'm very glad a friend invited us along. Definitely worth the price and then some. John has a great personality and knowledge of Midtown, food and architecture! Would highly recommend for locals or out of towners!

V. - Thanks for the terrific review! My apologies to your husband but I have to "pick on" someone and it was just too easy! For you "local" readers, V. had a fabulous time in her backyard, seeing...and tasting...and sipping through my Midtown neighborhood. For my "out-of-town" readers, I would suggest that you take my Food Tour as soon as you get into town. I'm loaded with suggestions, not only for dining, but what's to do for fun! Don't be strangers, V., to my neighborhood! I feel badly enough for the needling that your hubby endured that I'd actually buy him a beer...or two! My best to you both! John
