This tour was a great combination of local food and local history. Arielle was a great tour guide - she was passionate, knowledgeable and engaging.

It was a cold Atlanta day but nevertheless Arielle our tour guide made it fun and entertaining. The tour included 2 restaurants with incredible local foods and a treat from Little Tart Bake shop (women-owned). Oakland Cemetery with so much history was humbling. We learned how Atlanta came to be the capital of GA. Having a fun and knowledgeable tour host makes a difference and maybe you’ll be lucky to have Arielle too. This tour is not to miss.

We had an amazing time on the Atlanta Food and Cemetery Tour. The food was excellent, especially the stops in Grant Park—every bite was delicious and well chosen. The cemetery visit was fascinating and beautifully done, adding so much depth and character to the experience.
Our guide did a great job tying together the history, stories, and food. Their knowledge and enthusiasm really brought everything to life and made the tour both educational and fun.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Atlanta’s history and food scene in a unique and memorable way!

The tour was a great combination of tasty food, education, and entertainment. Ariel was magnificent bringing Atlanta history to life. Very fun and engaging. I lived in Atlanta for 12 years in the late 80s/90s and I learned more during these three hours about the city than I did during that time.
