5.00Our team had a fabulous dinner, we were able to enjoy lots of local foods and learn a lot about each other and a lot about Nashville. We all thoroughly enjoyed the pace and different from sitting in a restaurant for a couple of hours after sitting all day in meetings.
Must-Do Nashville Experience

5.00This tour was absolutely amazing. I HIGHLY recommend it! If you’re looking for a fun, interactive way to see the city while learning about its history, this is hands down the best way to do it. Our tour guide, Jessica (definitely book her if you can), was incredible. She was so knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. We had a fantastic time and learned so much about Nashville. As a bonus, all of the stops were local businesses, which made the experience even better.
Christmas Shenanigans

5.00I have been on many food tours and this one was awesome! I had purchased tickets as an early Christmas present to take my mom and her friends out while my husband and I were in town. Our tour guide was Genevieve and she was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and meshed well with our group. She was entertaining and provided great information about the city. Make sure you come hungry as the portions are large and very filling. If you can’t finish it all, a take home box will be provided. We were able to experience stops for BBQ, breakfast sandwiches, sweet treats and live music. It was great being able to experience local spots rather than the touristy bars along Broadway. It was so fun that I realized I didn’t take any pictures along the way except for a quick group shot and the last whiskey stop. I would definitely recommend this food tour to locals and visitors alike. A few last minute thoughts: *wear sneakers as you will walk about a mile in total *dress in layers as you will spend time outside and the Nashville wind can get chilly *bring cash if you appreciate live music and want to tip the artists you hear at a few of the stops
Cold but fun!

5.00Our guide Kristen was really knowledgeable. It was a very cold day, but she made sure to get us inside quickly and gave us plenty of time to warm up at each stop. The food and music venues were wonderful. I learned a lot about the city and some very tasty restaurants.
Nashville crafted fun!

5.00Genevieve was a great tour guide. Good knowledge of Nashville and very personable. She also made sure that all in the group could keep up the pace by accommodating two of the people on the tour who needed a slower pace.
An education in Nashvilleian.
