Yes! Unexpected Virtual Tours offers creative virtual team building and DEI training for remote and hybrid teams.

About the Tours

Generally, our standard experiences are roughly 2 to 3 hours long. However, we can customize a shorter or longer experience for your team.

Unexpected Atlanta tours are close to many top Atlanta attractions. For instance, the following activities are within a short drive to our tours:

  • Georgia Aquarium, about 1 mile to Downtown Southern Food Walk
  • Skyline Park at Ponce City Market, about 1 mile from Grant Park Food Walk

Forget structured and boring reflections. Rather, we encourage natural conversation.

First, we engage with a basic icebreaker. Throughout, we will spur conversation between the guests.

For our Curb Market tour, we include a mini biscuit-making class. On our Street Art tour, your team conceptualized their own art with a hands-on craft.

NO! To the contrary, our tours are super engaging and will get your team energized. You will actively participate in our city and learn so much about it.

All of the tours are a comfortable 1 to 2 mile walk with limited hills.  Usually, a person of average fitness can enjoy this team building experience. We can adjust to the pace of the group and this is not a power walk.

About the Food Tours

Of course, we can add more cocktails.

Yes, we can customize your drink options.

There are so many advantages to culinary team building:

First, people love to eat and taste!

Second, many teams aren’t thrilled to cook together. But, tasting foods together is fun and energizing.

Third, getting into the city and exploring places guests don’t know gets everyone involved.

In short, it’s building community with food!

On our Atlanta team building events, first, we have two to three seated locations. Second, they’ll chat while walking between restaurants. Third, we build in a team building exercise to keep everyone connecting.

On the other hand, at a restaurant, your guests will only talk to one or two people. Often, at ordinary dinners, people feel like they didn’t get a chance to talk with each other.

That never happens on our food tours.

We work with some of the city’s best food suppliers who stand behind their food and drink. For example, Six Feet Under was featured on the Food Network. Additionally, all of our restaurants stand behind their food and many have been featured in national media.

In addition, we have multiple chefs and cookbook writers on our team.

Please e-mail us above. Often, we can work with companies to achieve a tour within their price range. Usually, we will reduce the amount of food, if possible.

Here is a sample menu (subject to change) on our Grant Park tour:

  • Six Feet Under: shrimp and grits; fried catfish and okra
  • Firepit: Steak pizza; pork belly toast; Pony Punch
  • Little Tart: whole wheat chocolate chip cookie; apple cheddar turnover

Vegetarians may receive:

  • Six Feet Under: asparagus and grits; fried okra; fresh corn salad
  • Firepit: fried brussels sprouts; parmesan bites
  • Little Tart: whole wheat chocolate chip cookie; apple cheddar turnover
