A fun time was had by all - Arielle was a perfect tour guide, ask for her tour if you can. She brought history to life and melded our group of 11 people (adults and children) with her friendly and outgoing personality. We stopped at Six Feet Under for shrimp and grits, trout fingers, and fried okra. Then we walked around town and through Oakland Cemetery. I've been to the cemetery many times but found a new occupant: Kenny Rogers! Next we stopped at Firepit Pizza Tavern where we ate the most delicious steak pizza and pork belly toast. Finally we stopped at the busiest bakery in town, The Little Tart Bakeshop, for to go chocolate chip cookies and apple turnovers. It was a very fun outing and educational as well.

Excellent Tour - The Grant Park Food and History Tour was one of the best things we did in Atlanta. Booking was super easy and everyone we dealt with at Unexpected Atlanta was friendly and accommodating. Communication on the day was excellent, with our fantastic tour guide, Leigh, texting us with the start time and exact location 15 minutes before the tour began. We really enjoyed learning about the history of Atlanta from Leigh who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Oakland Cemetery was beautiful and it was really interesting to learn about its history. Let's not forget about the food, wow!!! Grits, fried ochra, corn stew, gourmet pizza, pastries and a fabulous cocktail, it was all so yummy. I recommend this tour without hesitation, you will love it!

Unexpected GREAT VALUE! - The Grant Park tour is a steal! You're getting an exceptional (and hip) food experience along with an informative and fun walk through Oakland Cemetery for such an incredible price! As an Atlantan resident for 20 years, doing this tour on a whim, I felt that I learned things I never knew and found spots I had never seen. Totally worth the time and money spent. Kristin S. was my guide and she was fantastic! She was personable, fun, and super smart. I totally recommend Unexpected Atlanta tours, whether you live here already or have a free day during your stay. I'm going to take my parents on one of these!
