4.00Scott was a great guide with lots of interesting anecdotes about the Nashville food scene. However, the tour should have been called the “ taco tour” because we had them at every stop except dessert. There really should be more variety. Was disappointed not to have hot chicken or fried pickles which we were interested in trying. Still, a fun tour which could be great with a few changes.
All round winner
