Being a food tour owner myself (East TN Tours in Knoxville, TN), it's always so cool to see how other people in other wonderful cities run theirs! I cannot say enough good things about John and his tour....this was my hubby and mine first trip to Atlanta EVER, and it was the perfect mix of getting to know great, yummy restaurants AND an informative history lesson! Definitely try to come on this tour at the beginning of your trip/stay if you can :) We went to 5 restaurants over the course of about 4 hours, eating at the first four "in house" and taking to-go pastry/baked good treats with us from the last stop. The first stop was one of the best burgers you'll ever try in your life, the second stop was amazing "standard" Southern dish, the third stop was two flavorful Italian plates (and you get a small-medium size alcoholic drink at the first 3 stops, too!), the fourth stop was a choice of coffee beverage with your pick of a cake/pie dessert, and the last 5th stop you get to pick 2 per person sweet and/or savory baked good pastry type things from a scrumptious sweet shop to eat for later (or then if you so choose!). The whole tour was sprinkled with great bits of history, stories, jokes, laughter, things to come and good company all around. All-in-all, TAKE THIS TOUR if you can next time you get to downtown/midtown Atlanta (the price is worth it!)

Hi Lauren!
Thanks for the very "detailed" review. We both know TA readers want to know what's so great about Peachtree Food Tours...and TA readers...Lauren is spot on!!
The best advice??? It's in the review!
Try to take a Food Tour at the beginning of your stay in any large city. Get dining-smart quickly! There is nothing worse than spending good money on bad food. Let your guide lead you to the better choices...as well as what else there is to do in town. If you don't ask your guide questions (Where to eat breakfast? Other tours? Romantic restaurants? Where to shop? Etc...), you are missing a golden opportunity!!
Peachtree Food Tours is lots of food...and lots of fun...and lots of great info! Come join us!
Thanks again, Lauren!
