Far from it! Our Walk Eat Nashville tours share the stories of the people, places, and food that make Nashville such a wonderful place to visit and live. We sample locally made dishes and interact with chefs, restaurant owners, and food artisans. Between bites, we walk through Nashville neighborhoods filled with unexpected landmarks and lore that even locals don’t know about. You'll walk away with a belly full of food and a head full of fun facts.

Our tours take place in Nashville neighborhoods and typically cover 1 - 1.5 miles, including some hills. Several of the tasting stops offer a chance to sit and rest, but we are walking when we're not eating. Think of it as a calorie-neutral adventure!

Come hungry! Walk Eat Nashville food tours include tastings at five restaurants/specialty food shops over three hours. Most guests find that it's plenty of food for lunch and leave the tour feeling satisfied. You will eat dinner… eventually. Though, this is not the day to plan that large steak dinner!

You bet! We host nearly as many local residents as visitors on our tours. Locals have a great time and often feel more connected to people and places in the neighborhood after taking a Walk Eat Nashville tour. A guided walking food tour is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the people behind Nashville’s best food and to learn about the people and places that put Nashville on the culinary map.  It’s like rediscovering your own backyard with a fork in hand.

We chose our restaurant partners because they are the restaurants we love to go to ourselves! The tastings selected are local favorites, often ones you might not think to order if you were left to your own devices. We’ll make sure you don’t miss out on the best of the menu! In other words, we're your culinary compass!

Yes, there are ample opportunities to use restrooms during a tour. We’ve got you covered!

Rain or shine, we're here to dine! We have fun on our tours in any weather, so dress accordingly and bring an umbrella in case of rain. We are also happy to supply you with an ugly poncho to wear!

Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. We reserve the right to cancel a tour in case of dangerous weather (lightning, tornado warnings, icy sidewalks/roads), in which case we will offer full refunds.

The tour guide will keep the temperature in mind when leading the tour. They will look for the shade, sun, or air conditioning when necessary. We are generally outside no longer than 15 minutes at a time with plenty of time in indoor restaurants to cool off, or warm up. Mother Nature can't rain on our food parade!

Yes, advance tickets are required as tours typically sell out in advance. Please reserve early to get your preferred date and time. Don't procrastinate; food waits for no one!

I’m ready to BOOK!

All food tastings and an engaging tour guide are included in the ticket price. Tour guide gratuities are not included but are always appreciated. Our guides accept tips in cash or chocolate, your choice!

We limit our tours to 12 guests, and once a reservation is made, your space is guaranteed. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be re-booked for a different date, so please book your tour on a date when you know you can attend. We cannot give credit for no shows, and we do not issue partial credit for late arrivals or early departures. We want to savor every moment with you!

While the tour content is geared toward adults, children who enjoy walking and eating may have fun sampling foods and learning more about Nashville. We welcome guests of any age but do not offer any age-related discounts. So, bring the little foodies along for the adventure!

We won’t force feed you! But, the ticket price is the same for all guests - whether or not they eat. So, feel free to nibble, gobble, or just giggle along with us!

With advance notice, we can usually ensure vegetarian and pescatarian offerings on our tours. Please specify what you do or don't eat when ordering tickets. Depending on the tour and day of the week, we may be able to accommodate vegans. Please email to confirm. We're all about making sure everyone gets a bite of the action!

We are able to accommodate some food allergies, such as peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. However, as all familiar with the life of allergies know, there are always risks of cross-contact when dining out. While all efforts will be made in the kitchen, we cannot guarantee ingredients used were not made on the same line, or in the same facility, as your allergen. And, as an allergy mom, I’m going to say… ALWAYS CARRY YOUR EPI PENS WITH YOU!

We are unable to accommodate sugar-free, soy-free, raw, halal, or kosher. We have had many “semi-kosher” guests who choose to follow either a vegetarian or pork-free & dairy-free experience though meals are not prepared according to Kosher law.

Please email to inquire about other dietary restrictions. As a food allergy mom, the owner of Walk Eat Nashville strives to be as accommodating and inclusive as possible but there are limitations.

We have so many places to see and tastings to enjoy on the tours! In order to make the tasting stops run smoothly and swiftly, we pre-order the food a day or more in advance. If we don’t know about a dietary restriction until the tour begins, we may not be able to accommodate that restriction. You may go ahead and buy the tickets, but check YES to dietary restrictions and add a TBD (to be determined) notation in the description field. Then ask your guest and respond to your emailed confirmation at least 5 days before your tour to update the restrictions.

Tour starting locations change depending on the tour and date. The starting location for your tour will be included in the confirmation email when you purchase your ticket.

Tours end within a 15 or 20-minute walk of the starting point. We will be sure you know how to get back to where we started--or wherever you’d like to go after the tour.

Our tours begin in areas with nearby paid parking lots. Bus stops are located within a block or two of our tour starting points. We've got all the ingredients for a convenient adventure, just follow the scent of delicious food!
