EnglishWhat you'll do
Dive into the soul of Music City on our East Nashville Food Tour, an exploration of the eclectic Five Points and Historic East Edgefield neighborhoods. Our journey commences with decadent Mini Whiskey Glazed Donuts, setting a sweet tone as we explore landmarks like East Nashville Magnet High School. For guests looking to toast the neighborhood’s craft culture, our curated drink upgrade package features a Local Beer paired perfectly with a handcrafted CrustBurger at a critically acclaimed local gem. As we navigate the colorful streets to find artistic anchors like the Red Rose and "I Believe In Nashville" murals, you'll discover a gritty, creative spirit shaped by a legendary music scene and a cutting-edge culinary landscape.
The narrative deepens as we indulge in a sequence of Southern powerhouses: mouthwatering Pulled Pork BBQ followed by our tour-exclusive Nashville Hot Chicken, a spicy legend that defines the city's bold identity. These fiery bites are beautifully balanced by a refreshing Pineapple Cider for those opting for our beverage upgrade. As we stroll past the vintage treasures of Caldwell Guitars, Woodland Studios, and Fanny’s House of Music, your guide will share stories of the artists and rebels who transformed these quaint streets into a global center for creativity. Amidst these historic silhouettes, we celebrate the region's river traditions with a crispy Catfish Taco.
As the afternoon sun settles over the district, we reveal our award-winning Secret Dish. We keep the identity of this "culinary treasure" strictly under wraps to maintain the suspense, but we can tell you it is a legendary, award-winning comfort classic that serves as the soulful centerpiece of our journey. This mystery specialty captures the nostalgic heart of Nashville's kitchens and is elegantly elevated by a Bushwhacker, the city’s signature frozen cocktail, for guests enjoying our alcohol upgrade. To finish on a high note, we’ll reflect on how this neighborhood seamlessly blends its historic roots with a hip, modern energy, offering an invitation to taste the authentic, artistic heart of Nashville.

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.

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.

Many of our tours are not wheelchair or stroller accessible. We recommend contacting us before booking to discuss this specific tour and accessibility options.
