A Few FAQs
-
It depends on your interests! Our Downtown tour is the most popular for first-time visitors, with iconic sights and bites in the heart of Nashville. East Nashville is our longest-running tour, known for its creative energy and bold flavors. Music Row blends food with the stories behind the songs, 12South pairs murals with crave-worthy eats, and Franklin offers small-town charm just 30 minutes south of Nashville.
-
Yes — we do our best to accommodate allergies, vegetarians, and vegans when you let us know in advance. I’m an allergy mom myself, so I understand how important this is. We communicate your needs clearly to our restaurant partners and make substitutions when possible, but food tours come with the same risks as dining out in restaurants. We never want anyone to have less than a stellar experience, and we’ll do everything possible to keep you safe and satisfied.
-
Each tour includes 5 food stops with generous portions that add up to a satisfying meal. Most guests leave comfortably full!
-
Tours cover about 1.1 to 1.6 miles, thoughtfully broken up by food stops. We generally don’t walk more than 10 minutes at a time, making it an enjoyable pace for most guests. Routes are chosen for easy walking, though some neighborhoods (like East Nashville) include historic sidewalks with a little uneven brickwork, adding to the character of the tour.
