Amazing Experience! - My husband and I took this tour with Joy and we were blessed to be the only ones on this particular tour so we had Joy all to ourselves. What a blessing that was! She was so excellent, so kind, so very knowledgeable…she made it a wonderful wonderful experience! We feel like not only did we enjoy excellent food and learned amazing history but we also made a new friend in Joy! Thank you!

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!

A great time that leave you so full you need a nap, with some history that I can guarantee most of us don't know. - I reached out before the tour to inform them that I was vegetarian and severely allergic to cinnamon. They reached out to the vendor not only about weather the dishes we would receive would have cinnamon but if there was a risk of cross contamination (which is something I have never had asked on a food tour before). Our guide, Joy, was amazing! She was engaging and friendly! The bakery did, in fact, have a risk of cross contamination, so she went and bought me a separate dessert from a different place. The history was amazing, and overall, we had an amazing time!

Great food and super guide. - We went on this very informative tour and the guide, Joy, did a remarkable job. She was friendly, knowledgeable and the food was great. And, we didn't have to walk too far since the 3 restaurants were all in a small area. The cemetery was extremely interesting and Joy did a good job of speaking about the various areas or the cemetery and the folks buried there. Thanks Joy for a great tour.
