I can't wait to do this tour again! - I had never done a food tour before; I'm so glad I did this one. Our tour guide, Paige, was amazing. She provided so much history and fun facts about the city as well as making our group feel like its own little community...and she did it with humor. We ate, drank and laughed our way around town. It was very informative and a ton of fun. I would definitely do it again!

So glad we chose this food tour - We are so glad we signed up for today’s downtown Nashville food tour. Could not have been better. Paige was exceptional in her knowledge and provided a perfect balance of history, fun facts and humor. We got to visit a good variety of locally-owned restaurants and no waiting! Our tables were ready for us at each destination and we skipped the lines. It was a very fun afternoon and we made new friends. Seriously recommend booking this tour.

Downtown Nashville --great food, great info, great guide! - Our guide Rebecca was knowledgeable about Nashville and its history, and she was courteous of our physical limitations --we we're slow walkers! We enjoyed all of the food at the array of stops. I recommend booking your tour at the front end of your trip so that you can get the lay of the land as well as information about the neighborhood, including ideas for activities and other restaurants.

Delicious, decadent, and fun tour! - We spent the afternoon on a Walk Eat Nashville tour with Paige as our guide and had a phenomenal time! The five stops for food samples were all very tasty and delicious, but it was Paige’s knowledge of the history of downtown Nashville and her amusing and informative anecdotes about various Nashville residents that added the perfect touch to our tour! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Walk Eat Nashville and Paige! - I have always wanted to go on a food tour. So when I found out we were coming to Nashville this summer, I immediately arranged to book a tour with Paige. My friends and I had a wonderful afternoon exploring Downtown Nashville and sampling some delicious food. Paige is a great storyteller and very knowledgeable about her city!

Amazing downtown food tour! - We had an amazing time. Rebekah was the best tour guide we could have had. The places we stopped for food went beyond our expectations. All 4 food stops (not including the 5th stop for candy) were great. The food was top quality and was a great variety of Nashville favorites. I would highly recommend (and already did) this food tour to anyone visiting Nashville.
