Had the best food tour experience I’ve ever had. I’ve done a few on SF, Philly. Josh was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He explained the origins of Mac and cheese and other fun facts. The food was out of this world. Biscuit love, bread pudding at Sambuca, BBQ at peg leg porker, and more. I would 100% come back to do the speakeasy tour or the germantown tour. What a great way to taste the city and learn the history.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the The Gulch food tour. Our guide, Jenny, took us to four restaurants, many that we later returned to, and gave us a history behind the foods we ate and/or the restaurant itself. Jenny also gave us the history of The Gulch and how it has become a new "up and coming" trendy area. Highly recommend this tour!

We had such a great afternoon, and the food was fantastic! The absolute best part of the tour, however, was our guide, Dean! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Nashville and the food we were eating. Just a delightful way to spend an afternoon. We go on many food tours, and he has been our favorite guide so far!

I just returned from a wonderful afternoon! Two of my friends and I did a walking food tour with Local Tastes of Nashville in the Gulch area of Nashville. Dean was our guide. He was a wealth of information about many fascinating things that have to do with Nashville. He has a great sense of humor and related well to everyone in the group.We started our tour at the Union Station Hotel. It is absolutely gorgeous and we learned so many interesting things about it. Then we set out walking together as Dean shared a lot of great things with us along the way. Over our three hour tour we stopped at four different places to eat. Each place was chosen because it is a local Nashville restaurant. We had two savory stops, and two sweet stops. By the end of the tour we were delightfully full. We toured with two ladies from New York and throughly enjoyed our interactions with them. Many thanks to Dean for being such an interesting and fun guide!!!

Dean was our guide and he was absolutely brilliant from the moment we met him at the gorgeous old Union Station in Nashville. We were quite a mixed group but he made it really fun for all of us. He was so informative and took the trouble to get us all involved. Loved walking round the Gulch and eating all sorts of delicious things! I'd really recommend this tour - especially if you're lucky enough to get Dean.

Great tour with very good food. Dean & Jenny provided entertaining stories & helpful insights on the Gulch area. Food samples were very tasty & ample size. We didn’t need dinner afterwards.
