Absolutely fantastic food tour of downtown Chattanooga’s West Village! - We stopped at Old Gilman’s Grill, Paloma, and finished with dessert at St. John’s. Drinks were included at both Paloma and St. John’s, which was a nice touch. Old Gilman’s Grill was hands-down our favorite stop by a mile — the food was outstanding. St. John’s came in a close second; the dessert was delicious and we’re already planning to go back for a full meal. Paloma just wasn’t our thing, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. Our guide Michael was amazing. He shared interesting historical info about the area and really tailored the tour to our interests (and the fact that we’re locals). He made the whole afternoon fun, informative, and personal. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a great way to explore the West Village’s food scene!

Downtown Tour with Friends - We went to Old Gilman (fantastic chili fried shrimp), Whitebird (great service, fun lemon wine, amazing cheese board), and Landing Social Club (bread pudding is so good!). Such a fun experience, Bri was a great tour guide!

Delicious! And nice Chattanooga history. - Michael was a great guide. Sprinkled in nice overview of Chattanooga history and culture. Highlighted the restaurants and gave recommendations for other places to visit. Food was delicious. Loved the wine pairings and the cocktail at the last stop. Highly recommend—helpful to go at the beginning of your visit so you can get advice for other things to see/do during your stay.

History through Food - Our guide, Michael, communicated well and were well prepared for the tour even before we arrived. He was also extremely conscientious about food allergies and sensitivities, ensuring everyone could participate safely. We learned a lot about Chattanooga along with tasting fabulous food. The best part is we felt as if we were all friends by the end of the tour.
