5.00My husband & I booked this food tour as part of our wedding anniversary trip to Nashville. It just so happened to be FREEZING outside so we were a little nervous about walking around the city in the cold. Well our tour guide Drew was fantastic and made our journey in the arctic tundra totally worth it!! He was super friendly and knowledgeable about each restaurant in addition to history about Nashville. 10/10 would recommend !

5.00This was a delicious and entertaining way to discover the gems in Nashville’s Gulch. Drew was delightful, and charmed us with stories, tips and recommendations. One of my top Nashville activities. My 12 year old grandson had a good time and loved the mac & cheese at Peg Leg Porkers.
So fun!

4.00Drew was our tour guide and he was amazing…walking backwards through most of it and deftly navigating our group through the crazy traffic and busyness of the Gulch. He’s from Nashville and knows everything Nashville! He told us the history of the Gulch and kept us all entertained with stories. He described each culinary stop on the tour and answered all of our questions with such enthusiasm and humor - just a super nice funny guy and we so enjoyed meeting him. The ONLY con to us was there were 2 savory stops, and 2 sweet stops. Savory then sweet, savory then sweet. We would have preferred 3 savory stops and end with a sweet stop. But that’s it - otherwise it was a really great way to spend an afternoon in Nashville/the Gulch and we would definitely recommend it.
Great tour! Great food!

5.00Dean is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. He knows the city well. We had 4 terrific stops, and were quite full of delicious foods by the time our tour was complete. I would recommend Dean and his tour. Well worth the time and money.
