Living 30 minutes outside of Atlanta, we seldom come into town unless it would be to a ballgame. Honestly, in 28 years of Marietta living, I didn't really know what defined Midtown and had eaten at few restaurants in the area. That will not be the case moving forward. It was our first food tour in any city and we decided to do it for our 45th wedding anniversary. Yes, we did eat well and at new-to-us restaurants, but the key to a food tour as far as we could tell depended upon the tour guide. John put the tour over the top. Intensely proud of his Midtown and extremely knowledgeable about the entirety of Midtown, we came away with a total understanding of the area's history, architecture and cuisine. And, if you like to hear stories that are interesting, John is your man. He gets it! As a result, we got it. It is a walking tour of about 2 miles total but the pace is not strenuous with many stops for anecdotes about the area. The cost is justified by the 4+ hours spent on tour and the amount of food offered. Don't eat a late breakfast or schedule an early dinner. John loves doing what he does and it shows. We will return to Peachtree Street often and I would highly recommend this tour to first-timers, locals and/or out-of-towners. Would also be great as a corporate outing. Can you tell, we had a great anniversary?

Wow, Dave! That's a great review! And, Yes!...Yours was a great anniversary celebration! I know I have said this before but I will always remember you and sweet Ms. S. always about 10 feet behind the Tour group, holding hands, just strolling! Cute, cute couple! Looked like you were on your honeymoon!
You said that you were not going to be strangers to my neighborhood so I will keep an eye out for you...holding hands...strolling down Peachtree Street. I might even be good for another anniversary toast! Just give me a holler!
The best to you both!
