Sherri_C, Nov 2019

Jamie was an awesome tour guide and share so much knowledge of Atlanta. She was very friendly and accomodating.

True Soul and Southern food!

Kim_Z, Oct 2019

We have taken food tours before with Viator in Rome and had a great time! However this tour even topped that! Jamie our tour guide was wonderful! She truly catered to us and helped make it a spectacular food tour. She knew her food and history of the area. We chose this tour because we wanted to taste the food of the local restaurants! All the food was delicious! We would go again in a heart beat! If you only have time for one food tour we would highly recommend this one and ask for Jamie!

Everyone who visits Atlanta should take this tour.

stevelindahirsch, Oct 2019

This tour would have been worth every dime if all I had experienced was the fabulous food but it gave so much more. As we walked the streets of Atlanta I learned about the history of the city and that of the people who walked its streets. I learned more about the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King's journey than I would have thought possible in three hour's time. It was one of the most moving experiences I've every had.

WOW!!!!!

jameelaragnauth, Sep 2019

Ask for Jennifer! She is amazing, wonderful person and tireless. THE FOOD... what can you say when you go chasing food... FUN. Except for the pork belly, but people, go do and have the time of food , fun, and be educated!

Excellent

Rebecca_M, Sep 2019

Amazing food, interesting history and Emily was very interactive and informative. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Atlanta.

Southern Food Tour Exceeded Our Expectation

Edmund_T, Aug 2019

The guide (Joy) was very knowledgeable about the history of Atlanta and the food we tasted. The food was exceptional. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the food walk.

Friendly and informative tour

Brian_D, Mar 2019

Met up with our Guide at Paschal’s, the tasting menu here was very good, our guide, Emily, was very cheery and pleasant and knowledgable about her subject. The one drawback on this tour was the heavy rain which restricted the walking somewhat, but our fellow tourists were good company and made light of the weather! At each stop we received a small but tasty snack and the cuisine covered all aspects of the South. Our final stop was the market, the meat pies here were delicious! Came away from this tour having tasted a wide variety of southern food and learned a lot about Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. As well as our guide I would like to thank the other guests who assisted with my wife who has mobility issues!

Response from Host, Jul 2019

I'm so glad you had a good time on my tour despite the rain. Unfortunately we have no control over Mother Nature but we do try to make it as comfortable as possible for everyone. It's good to hear everyone pitched in to help your wife. It sounds like you enjoyed learning about Atlanta's history and tasting decadent morsels. Thank you for coming on my tour and writing your review.

Atlanta's Southern Food Tour

Jim_H, Mar 2019

What a wonderful tour--the food was delicious, Emily, our tour guide was perfect--informative and smart and funny was perfect. Good walking as we ate and ate. All the places we stopped were great--very worth the price

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Emily loves sharing Atlanta's stories, history and fine cuisine which makes what she does not a job but a fun way to meet great people. I'm glad you enjoyed the food and learning more about this fine city. Thank you for coming on my tour and writing your review.

Wonderful Tour

Steven_A, Jan 2019

Our food tour was absolutely wonderful. Jennifer and Jamie were excellent guides. They worked together well and were extremely gracious. When asked what was my favorite part of the trip, honestly it was all so good - the history, food, people, guided! Great experience! Thank you ladies!

Krystal S, Aug 2018

For the price you pay, you get so much for your money. You start at about 1100 and by my recollection the tour ended at about 1500. We had Jennifer who was an amazing host. Her local knowledge was unrivalled, and I enjoyed hearing the many stories about Atlanta and its rich history in food and the civil rights movement. I was not disappointed with any of the food stops and I guarantee you wont be either! Definitely sign up to take your tour with Atlanta Food Walks itll be peachy.

Best way to tour Atlanta

There is nothing better than touring a city on a food tour. Joy was just that, a joy. We saw neighborhoods we would never have seen with the history and food that goes along with it. Do this!!
