Overall, this experience was "meh" for the amount of money paid per person. On my tour, there was 10 people total. I feel like this detracted from the experience, because the portion sizes are already small, and there were some portions that were comically small for the amount of people on the tour, to the point that we were looking at each other incredulously. For example - there was a delicious potato dish at a Spanish restaurant we went to and we had to split a small potato tortilla into fourths ... really? Also, there was a total of 1 small cocktail. "Half day" is also a stretch - the tour was about 2.5 hours total. You know the tour wasn't that good if 4 of the people on the tour left before it was even over - and that definitely happened. Nick was an enthusiastic tour guide but his enthusiasm can't make up for the fact that the portion sizes are small and there was only 1 cocktail in the entire tour. TLDR; not worth the money paid for the tour, especially since the portion sizes are comically small, and there's a total of 1 cocktail for the entire tour.

Dear guest, as it states on Viator 2 alcoholic beverages are included on the tour (which is what you received because you left early). What guests usually experience are THREE alcoholic beverages: beer + 2 cocktail. Most food tours don’t even feature one alcoholic beverage which is what sets us apart.
Also, this is a progressive food tour where we try SEVERAL dishes, so yes we split some of them so we can feature MORE of them. Most guests leave feeling full, as per previous reviews here. This is not a buffet food tour. We also work on Foodie IQ by featuring historical and architectural aspects of Atlanta.
This guest and their group had a challenge with adhering to the company’s Covid 19 MASKING policy, as outlined clearly prior to participating. When guests do not respect our CDC-led guidelines they are asked to leave the tour without refund. We are in a pandemic. We are lucky to be able to provide a tour at all. When guests are not eating or actively drinking they must wear a mask that covers their mouth and nose. If you are not ok with that, please don’t book this tour.
Warm regards,
Leslie
