Brett was a fantastic tour guide! The food was great plus he made sure to accommodate those with food allergies. Loved the breakfast taco and hot chicken taco! The dessert stops were very good too! Would definitely recommend!

Loved this food tour. The food was delicious and very filling and Carolina was a great guide! She was so sweet and shared a lot of fun information about the area and the food. Love that she also took us to a few neighborhood shops between food stops. I highly recommend Carolina and the 12 South food tour!

Our tour was great even despite the heat wave we were experiencing. We ate a lot of food! It was great. We found shaded spots to stop in. Scott was a great tour guide. He gave us lots of history about the area and how the specific restaurant got started. We have actually gone back to a couple of places. Definitely recommend this your.

Loved it! Experienced an area of Nashville that we probably would not have had we not did the food tour. The tour guide was great and full of information and the food and sweet treats were awesome. We stopped in a few stores along the way and were able to purchase gifts!
We appreciate you spending time with us on the tour. Your feedback is exactly the kind of encouragement our team enjoys receiving. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Enjoyed the tour greatly!! Would recommend Scott.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It's always a pleasure hearing from guests who embraced everything along the way. We'd love to have you join Secret Food Tours again!
The food was delicious and really gave a perfect variety of the "tastes of Nashville." Scott was a great tour guide, he was funny, knowledgable and even gave personal stories about his time in Nashville/the places we visited. There was a nice mix of history and fun facts. It was a really hot day, but he made sure we stayed hydrated. Did I mention the food was delicious? Lady Bird Taco was on my list to try and that was our first stop! I'm going to tell everyone they need to do this. Thank you Scott for a perfect afternoon around Nashville :)
We always enjoy hearing what guests take away from their experience. It's great to know yours left you with so many positive memories. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
