A perfect food tour with a southern flare
Stephen_D, Apr 2025
This is a great tour to learn a little about Atlanta, Oakland cemetery, and experience some really great food. Courtney, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and provided a great theatrical twist. My wife and I are native Atlantans and learned a bit about our city and enjoyed some local food as well. A must do if you have a few hours.
Great experience!...

Great experience! Courtney did a lovely job of adding in just the right amount of interesting history and keeping things moving. A very cool way to check out the cemetery!
We might come back to Atlanta just to do this again

There was a lot more food then expected. The samples were good sized plates and everything was delicious. The history of the cemetery and Atlanta was so interesting and our tour guide Courtney kept us entertained the whole time.
