With more than 50 million visitors a year, Atlanta proves popular for its attractions, entertainment options, history and culture. Boasting a thriving food scene, the city offers several James Beard award winners and Michelin-starred restaurants. An excellent way to get to know Atlanta and learn more about the city’s culinary scene and its history is to take a food tour.
The Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile biking and pedestrian trail, transformed the city into a more walkable and bikeable destination while encouraging new development along its path. The Food and Street Art Tour on the Atlanta Beltline includes tastings from four restaurants, a cocktail and a tour of Atlanta’s street art scene.

With Food Tours Atlanta, choose between cocktails and history with two Beltline-focused tours: Beltline Food, History & Street Art Tour or Beltline Cocktails and Bites. The first tour features Inman Park, one of Atlanta’s prettiest neighborhoods, while the second tour stops at three popular destinations for cocktails. The company also offers the Ponce City Market Food, Art and History Experience to explore one of Atlanta’s most popular food halls.
Secret Food Tours Atlanta explores Midtown Atlanta, a walkable part of the city and home to Fox Theatre and dozens of local restaurants. The tour starts at the historic Georgian Terrace Hotel, where stars of Gone with the Wind stayed for the world premiere, and takes guests by the apartment where Margaret Mitchell wrote her famous book. Food samples may include chicken and waffles and a gourmet popsicle from locally owned King of Pops.
Touring a cemetery on a food tour definitely falls in the category of unexpected, but you’ll want to see historic Oakland Cemetery to learn about some of Atlanta’s most famous history-makers. Unexpected Atlanta Tours offers the Grant Park Food and Cemetery Tour with tastings from the aptly named Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House and The Little Tart Bakeshop, home to the best chocolate chip cookie in the city. The company also offers the Historic Market Food Tour + Biscuit Class, which goes to Sweet Auburn Curb Market for tastings and a cooking class.
