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!
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!
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
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.
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!!
This was an excellent experience that included historical information about the city and delightful food. I would recommend this store to others, and I will look into future tours from this vendor.
Loved our Southern Food Tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the food selections were fabulous. I really feel we had a taste of Atlanta and Southern food!
A good way to stretch your legs, and get fed and informed about Atlanta at the same time.
