5.00We had so much fun on this food tour!! I especially appreciated learning about a different neighborhood outside of the main downtown — I’m not sure I would have explored on my own. Food choices were great and I felt like I got a true sampling of Nashville!
Awesome way to see a different side of Nashville

5.00Ben was an excellent host and guide for this ‘foodie’ walking tour of trendy East Nashville. Great local knowledge and rapport with local eating venues and hostelries. We even changed plans for our last evening in Nashville, choosing to ‘do’ East Nashville instead of going back downtown. 5*
Fun afternoon alternative
