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.
