Foodie Tour and Jeopardy-All In One! - Alex our tour guide was AMAZING! He turned it into a trivia experience which made it even more super fun. We had so many delicious tastings and learned history of the city as well. We had never been so Alex gave us excellent recommendations to try to make our long weekend extra magical. You definitely need to do this food tour.

Fabulous Food Tour - Our tour guide was Michael,and he truly was magnificent! His friendly and relaxed demeanor made our time together fun!

A Must Do to learn about good food and unique areas of Chattanooga - Michael was a perfect tour guide. He gave everyone his attention and created great conversation among the 8 of us on the tour. He knows the history of Chattanooga and knows fun places to eat, drink and sight see. A great resource. Sounds like they do different kinds of tours so we will plan to check them out on our next visit to Chattanooga.

Our on private tour - Our own private tour! Michael entertained us with conversation and a history of Chattanooga with delightful restaurants selected. Many options, lots of food, and friendly accommodation of our one non alcoholic drinker. Highly recommended.

Skip the drink package but go on the tour - The food selections on this tour were first rate and we definitely had enough food to constitute a meal. The history component of the tour was pretty light but that did not concern us. We returned to one of the locations a day later. We purchased a drink package but would not recommend that because several of the sites included drinks with the regular ticket so we paid $35 for drinks we didn’t need and did not get to choose what your drink was. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Enjoyable, but could be improved. - Enjoyed our experience in the West Village. Alex is a great guide and shared a lot of fun facts and some favorite eateries around Chattanooga which we appreciated. However, the tour could be improved. Our last stop was closed (due to power?) so we went back to gilman’s—but they weren't expecting us. A bit awkward. We got split up between 2 tables…ok we’re flexible. Even though my favorite food was at the Westin, I would have preferred to walk to a different eatery since we already dined and checked out the upstairs. Our tour ended up eating 4 times at 2 buildings across the street from each other. I enjoyed the umbrella alley…Perhaps also a little tour of the Read House hotel? Or walk to the church that was 2 stories underground? It was just a half block away. Hope your other tours are a bit more expansive.
Also, Alex spent a while trying to contact his boss about whether our Westin dining included an alcohol drink. It took up a bit of time and was awkward waiting to hear back which I don’t think he ever got an answer. So no drink which was fine, just made the tour feel unorganized. Alex mentioned that the MLK tour was a favorite, but it’s not offered currently.
