Have a hard time choosing what you want to eat among dozens of choices? This food tour is for you! - Had a wonderful time with David taking us through the history of the Ponce City Market! Ate some delicious food at H&F, Botiwalla, and El Super Pan, and got a taste of the history of Atlanta and the Sears Roebuck building across the decades. David was super amicable (even in the rain!) and knowledgeable and would certainly recommend the tour to others. Yum yum yum.

Delicious food, excellent guide - Our guide David made the tour for me — he was personable and knowledgeable, and while sharing the history of the building and surrounding area, he used props including photos and a repro Sears catalog from the early 1900s.

Excellent Tour - We loved our tour of Ponce Market, the history of the surrounding area, and the beltline. David was a wonderful host, and we truly enjoyed his insight, knowledge, and love of the market. I felt like I had a new friend at the end of two hours. Also, we appreciated the tour operated with a small group. I have visited Atlanta a lot but this market was new to me and David noted tons of cool artifacts. The market was vibrant, young, and beautiful. David was a gracious host and made sure to check on preferences prior to the tour. He made a modification of a spicy item. These modifications enhance the experience sad there was no food wasted as a result. This tour had two main, delicious items, history with a chance to walk off those items, and then ended with two desserts (one was a takeaway). Will we go back? Absolutely! We have been on the Krog Market Tour and loved it. We are visiting that tour again in July with spouses. And plan to go back to Ponce tour again with more friends. You are a tour company that listens to their guests, modifies, and delivers.
