5.00Arielle was so amazing. She brought so much energy and knowledge to this tour. I learned so much about Atlanta. What I loved most was that she was so balanced. She knew just the right amount of information to give to not make it seem overwhelming. The food choices were good as well. The first place (Six Feet Under) was the all star. The second place was meh by comparison and the dessert option was delicious. She then recommended activities we could do after which was right on the money.
Wonderful Tour

Fun Way to Rediscover Familiar Places

4.00We signed our family up for the Grant Park food tour as a gift for our youngest son, who’s a foodie and likes exploring local spots. Even though we’ve lived in the area for years and have been to Grant Park many times, we hadn’t tried all the restaurants on the list and were intrigued by a tour that connects local history to food. Our guide, Delaney, was there early and kept her enthusiasm and energy up throughout the 2.5-hour tour. She’s clearly passionate about history, and even though we already knew a fair amount about the area, we still picked up plenty of new stories and details specific to Atlanta, Grant Park, and Oakland Cemetery. Delaney introduced the cemetery residents we visited in a personal and respectful way, answered all our questions, and made the tour feel more like a shared exploration than a scripted experience. We also liked how she tied her stories into the food at each stop (corn, catfish, peaches, bacon, etc.), which made everything feel more connected. The food itself was generally tasty (especially Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House), but it was really the storytelling that made the experience stand out and gave us a new perspective on places we thought we already knew. Overall, this is a unique experience and a great gift idea, whether you’re visiting or have lived here a long time.
