Award winningWhat you'll do
You’ll kick things off with a warm Southern welcome and a handcrafted breakfast taco from a local favorite that captures the spirit of Nashville mornings.
After your tasty start, we’ll stroll through the charming 12 South neighborhood, stopping for a fresh seasonal donut that’s as vibrant as the shops and murals surrounding us.
Next, we’ll settle in for a flavorful brisket quesadilla paired with spicy green beans — a nod to Nashville’s love for bold flavors and smoky indulgence.
Your journey continues with a rich Southern hot pork and grits casserole — hearty, comforting, and a true Tennessee classic.
As we explore the iconic 12 South strip, your guide will share insights into the neighborhood’s transformation, from its historic roots to its current status as a hub of local creativity, style, and cuisine.
We’ll wrap up with our delicious Secret Dish — a beloved Southern recipe that brings people together, just like good music and great food always do.

Our tours provide our customers with a lot of food. Trust us, you will not need to eat a meal after our food tour!

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes walking but it's not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.

What if it rains or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Nashville. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
