This was an interesting, delicious combination of history, culture, and oh my goodness, the food! David, our tour guide, was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. He did a great job of pacing the tour so we didn’t feel rushed or too full for the next item on the tour. I loved the short walk on the beltway and all the history of the Ponce City Market and the surrounding area.
The food was off the chain! There was a wide variety and the portions were generous. David made adjustments to the menu to accommodate our group’s tastes and everything was incredible.
10 out of 10 highly recommend David and the food tour

David was our tour guide and we had a small group of 3 (my sister, me, and another person). He was an AMAZING guide. This tour incorporated the food culture in Atlanta, and also had a historical tour piece to it. We enjoyed five food items inside of Ponce City Market, and walked outside the building and along the Belt Line to learn about the history.
For food items, we first had a half burger with either a beer on tap or, they provided me with a cider as requested. Other food items included a tikka masala naan wrap, a cuban sandwich, gelato, and an eclair! The food was excellent, but the burger and gelato were a highlight for me.
As for the guide part of the tour, our guide, David, is an Atlanta native and was extremely knowledgeable about the food culture, and history. He was also extremely polite and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our time. He went to each food vendor to make sure food was ready ahead of time and so we weren't waiting, and also brought us the food, and cleaned it up for us. For the historical part of the tour, he brought photos to illustrate what the market used to look like, and was able to answer all of our questions.
Lastly, we were introduced to the Director, Christie, of Food Tours Atlanta, who was also very kind and knowlegeable. I 10/10 recommend this tour and it was definitely a highlight of our time spent visiting Atlanta!

What a fun way to lunch and learn about a little about Atlanta’s history. Our guide, David, showed us the history of the former Sears distribution center that has become a standout food and shopping mecca. The food selections David arranged were delicious and varied. Walking along the Beltline is a nice break between mains and desserts! Definitely worth the time and $.
