Great tour with Arielle! The food was delicious and the portions were very generous for "tasting". The walk through the cemetery was fascinating and Arielle managed to make it full of historic fact and fun, at the same time. Highly recommended!

Arielle, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about the area, the food, and the inhabitants of the Oakland Cemetery. Her gift of storytelling was captivating, and we learned so much history along the way. Food tastings were delightful, plentiful, and spot on for southern food. We are locals and very much enjoyed this tour!

Today I thoroughly enjoyed the Grant Park Food and Oakland Cemetery tour. Delaney made it entertaining while sharing anecdotes and history about Atlanta’s rich love affair with food and famous characters. We were a group of four and she easily engaged each of us on three hour tour. Never felt rushed and easily accomplished my daily steps. Delaney is passionate Atlantan determined to continue to assist in shaping the future of Atlanta while acknowledging its colorful history. Loved every minute of it. Whether a local or a visitor this is great way to spend a few hours.
