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
