My husband and I along with our adult children took this tour with Kristin as our guide. The food “samples” were huge and delicious. Kristin did a great job of experience explaining the food as well. The tour was very interesting and informative. She was very kind and accommodating to me when I couldn’t finish the walk. We had a great time.

Fun Tour of Oakland Cemetary and Great Food

, Jun 2021
Ariel did an excellent job as our tour guide. The initial meeting place was easy to find. The food at all of the stops was delicious. I've already been back to two of the stops on the tour. The eating and walking pace was relaxed. The follow along online brochure was fun and creates a good momento of the trip. Ariel was also able to provide tips on additional places to eat in Grant Park as well as in other parts of Atlanta. I'd recommend this tour for groups interested in a little history of Atlanta and some tasty food. Also the tour was great at accommodating our teenagers. They got mocktails that they loved and overall really enjoyed the tour.

As Atlantans, we love to hear that someone who takes our tours has come back to support our local businesses, so Thank You for that as well! We're so glad we could provide such a fun and engaging tour for you and your teens!
