My teenage daughter found John's tour while looking for things for us to do on a father-daughter trip to explore Atlanta. Both of us are so glad that she did!
John is an excellent tour guide. He is a resident of mid-town, giving the tour a very good connection to the dynamic of the area - what's going on where, what's hot and what's not. This gives such a great back-story to the food-tour - it's definitely way more interesting than walking from restaurant to restaurant and you almost feel like a local by the time you're done.
The choices of restaurant and food recommendations were all excellent. We covered a range of cuisine, from unexpected, to new twists on southern fare. I highly recommend trusting John with the choices and letting him surprise you. He is very careful about asking about personal tastes and allergies - so there should be no issues.
John was very communicative both before the tour to make sure everything ran smoothly with our plans - and also to say thanks afterwards. All of this led to a great experience. Highly recommended! Thanks John!

Wow! Highlight of your trip! That is high praise, indeed, as you and your daughter took in almost every Atlanta highlight in less than 48 hours!! Prior to your visit I sent a note regarding what I thought a 16 year old might enjoy but she was way ahead of me. Good work, Ms. H.!!
Thanks, Patrick, for the detailed comments on your experience.... which included "from unexpected, to new twists"...a great bit of writing without giving away any of my "surprises". I think of all the Food Tours that I have enjoyed around the world and I love to start out on the foodie adventure without knowing what's ahead. Gotta love a little mystery!!
I see more Father/Daughter weekends of fun. I'm sure Ms. H. is already thinking of the possibilities. Maybe even another Food Tour, wherever it is you end up. Always a great idea as there are some terrific ones out there!
My best to you both! John
