When I Googled “Things to do in Atlanta”, a Food Tour was the furthest thing from my mind. I’m neither a connoisseur of food, nor a big eater. But when I started reading all the reviews of John’s tour, I saw that it was much more than a tour of restaurants with a singular emphasis on food.
I saw from the reviews that John’s tours were informative and fun. In fact, John limits the size of his groups to be sure that his tours don’t “get to be like work”.
We learned all about the history and growth of Mid-Town Atlanta and how Coca Cola and many others played such a big part in its development. We learned about the huge number of restaurants in Mid-Town and stopped at 6 of them to sample the food. John chose restaurants and food at each one that was unique in some way and extremely fun!
In many of our previous travels, my wife and I have enjoyed ourselves but the memories faded quickly when the realities of getting back to work came into play. However John helps keep the memories alive by taking pictures of the restaurants, the group, and the food we sampled, then taking the time to send them to everyone in the group.
If you’re visiting Atlanta and would like to learn about the historic growth of Mid-Town from a local who lives right on Peachtree, then Peachtree Food Tours is the place to go.
My wife and I heartily recommend him!

P. (and A.), What a lovely review! We spoke on the phone a number of times before the Tour about the "special" occasion that you had planned for your Atlanta weekend so our wandering, and chatting was like getting together with a dear friend. I am sure that the next time that you two drive over to my neighborhood we'll be having dinner together. (And....I just might have some food and fun suggestions that are not on the Tour!) So many restaurants! So little time!
Thanks again for taking time to share your thoughts with TA readers!
My best to you both! Hope to see you soon!
