An Atlanta food tour is one of the best ways to experience the city through its food. Think of it as part walking tour, part progressive meal, and part Atlanta history experience. Instead of sitting down at just one restaurant, you’ll visit several local restaurants and food businesses, enjoying tastings at each stop while a local guide introduces you to the neighborhoods, people, and stories that have shaped Atlanta.

And you won’t leave hungry! At Unexpected Atlanta Tours & Gifts, our Atlanta food tours feature multiple substantial tastings selected to create the equivalent of a full meal over the course of the experience. Depending on the tour, that might mean Southern classics, international flavors, locally made desserts, cocktails, or dishes from some of Atlanta’s most interesting independent restaurants. It’s a great option for first-time visitors, Atlanta locals, couples, families, groups of friends, and corporate outings.

In short: an Atlanta food tour lets you taste several restaurants, explore a neighborhood, learn Atlanta’s stories, and enjoy a full meal—all in one experience.
