About this experience

On our Secret Food Tour: Atlanta, you'll discover a city of the future with strong ties to its past.

Our experienced guides will welcome you on a delicious journey through the capital of the South, where you’ll see firsthand why we’re known for being the epitome of true Southern hospitality. After all, this is the home of Coca-Cola, the Braves, and some of the best darn food you’ll ever put in your mouth! Seriously, our cuisine feels like a warm hug for the soul (that’s why we call it soul food!) and we cannot wait to share it with you. From down south specialties like chicken and waffles to international delights like yucca fries, we’ve got a little something for everyone. So, come on in, set a spell, and get ready to dig in while we share some stories of "The City Too Busy To Hate."

As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience.
