You won’t go hungry!! So much great food- seriously skip breakfast (and you’ll also want to skip lunch following this tour)!! Jessica was a spectacular hostess, with a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. We highly recommend this food tour: great food, great location, and a great hostess.

The food at all the restaurants, and ice cream, was so good! Rebekah is a great tour guide and we learned a lot of history about Franklin and Tennessee besides the local food.
Franklin food tour host was the best!

My sister was visiting from out of town and I thought this would be a fun way to show her the incredible food scene in Nashville/Franklin—the tour did not disappoint! We had the best time tasting really good portions of incredible, hot food, learning so much about the Factory that I would have never learned about otherwise, and even meeting other locals and tourists added to the fun. My only regret is that I ate breakfast that morning—DONT DO THAT. Come very hungry! I highly recommend this tour whether you’re a local and want to learn about the history of the factory or a tourist from out of town.
Top Notch Experience

BOOK IT!! Highly Recommend. The food was fabulous and I can’t wait to take my family back to the restaurants. The tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Request Rebekah Parker to be your tour guide. This is PERFECT for a girls day out or for friends visiting from out of town.
