Traveler reviews
Great food tour and experience with a very knowledgeable tour guide.
Got to experience the East Nashville cuisine and vibe. Had a great guide and an all around awesome experience. You won’t be disappointed as the food and drinks were all wonderful.
Fun tour of East Nashville with Mandy!
Mandy met us and took us to 5 amazing stops. The food was delicious. If you wanted to order a drink you could order and pay for one. We walked all around East Nashville and learned a lot and ate a lot of great food. I am gluten free and they made sure I had gluten free options at each stop. My husband enjoyed all of the glutens and I got to enjoy the gluten free options. So much fun!!! Another tour I would recommend! Thanks Mandy!
Amazing!
It was so much fun! We tried foods out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I tried them! I have a food allergy that they took very seriously and I was able to still eat everything!
One of my favorite tours!
Mandy did an excellent job at engaging the group and making sure our time was well spent. East Nashville has so many hidden gems. This was my second time doing this tour and it has yet to disappoint in variety, fun, and delicious tastings.
