Come hungry! Walk Eat Nashville food tours include tastings at five restaurants/specialty food shops over three hours. Most guests find that it's plenty of food for lunch and leave the tour feeling satisfied. You will eat dinner… eventually. Though, this is not the day to plan that large steak dinner!

Here’s the deal: we might have Nashville hot chicken or BBQ on your tour… but we also might not. It all depends on the day, and we like to keep things fresh and local. If you're coming with a BBQ craving, just know it’s not guaranteed (we don’t want any hanger turning into heartache!). Think of it this way: our food tours are like the ultimate local playlist—not just the greatest hits, but also the hidden tracks you didn’t know you’d love. We take you to places where we love to eat, spots that might surprise you! So, if you're set on BBQ or hot chicken, ask your guide for their recs! They won't let you down. Our tours are all about discovering the unexpected gems where locals hang out.

We chose our restaurant partners because they are the restaurants we love to go to ourselves! The tastings selected are local favorites, often ones you might not think to order if you were left to your own devices. We’ll make sure you don’t miss out on the best of the menu! In other words, we're your culinary compass!

With advance notice, we can usually ensure vegetarian and pescatarian offerings on our tours. Please specify what you do or don't eat when ordering tickets.

Depending on the tour and day of the week, we are usually able to accommodate vegans on the Nashville tours. However, the Franklin tour is dairy heavy with no great substitutions.

Please email to confirm. We're all about making sure everyone gets a bite of the action!

We are able to accommodate some food allergies, such as peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. However, as all familiar with the life of allergies know, there are always risks of cross-contact when dining out. While all efforts will be made in the kitchen, we cannot guarantee ingredients used were not made on the same line, or in the same facility, as your allergen. And, as an allergy mom, I’m going to say… ALWAYS CARRY YOUR EPI PENS WITH YOU!

Unfortunately, the Franklin tour has a pretty dairy heavy menu without great alternatives. We don't recommend this tour for those who aren't able to consume dairy.

We are unable to accommodate sugar-free, soy-free, raw, halal, or kosher. We have had many “semi-kosher” guests who choose to follow either a vegetarian or pork-free & dairy-free experience though meals are not prepared according to Kosher law.

Please email to inquire about other dietary restrictions. As a food allergy mom, the owner of Walk Eat Food Tours strives to be as accommodating and inclusive as possible but there are limitations.

We have so many places to see and tastings to enjoy on the tours! In order to make the tasting stops run smoothly and swiftly, we pre-order the food a day or more in advance. If we don’t know about a dietary restriction until the tour begins, we may not be able to accommodate that restriction. You may go ahead and buy the tickets, but check YES to dietary restrictions and add a TBD (to be determined) notation in the description field. Then ask your guest and respond to your emailed confirmation at least 5 days before your tour to update the restrictions.

Far from it! Our Walk Eat Food Tours share the stories of the people, places, and food that make Nashville such a wonderful place to visit and live. We sample locally made dishes and often interact with chefs, restaurant owners, and food artisans. Between bites, we walk through Nashville neighborhoods filled with unexpected landmarks and lore that even locals don’t know about. You'll walk away with a belly full of food and a head full of fun facts.

Our tours are a calorie-neutral adventure—you’ll be walking about 1 to 1.5 miles, but don’t worry, we try to keep things as downhill as possible! (Literally, not metaphorically.) The walks between delicious bites are around 5 to 15 minutes, and we’ve designed our routes with declines in mind. When there’s an incline, it won’t last long. Plus, you’ll have plenty of chances to sit and rest at our tasting stops. Just a heads-up: if you’re on the East Nashville tour, you’ll encounter some historic, brick-lined sidewalks that might add a little extra bounce to your step. All part of the charm!

You bet! We host nearly as many local residents as visitors on our tours. Locals have a great time and often feel more connected to people and places in the neighborhood after taking a Walk Eat Food Tour. A guided walking food tour is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the people behind Nashville’s best food and to learn about the people and places that put Nashville on the culinary map.  It’s like rediscovering your own backyard with a fork in hand.

Yes, there are ample opportunities to use restrooms during a tour. We’ve got you covered!

Rain or shine, we're here to dine! We have fun on our tours in any weather, so dress accordingly and bring an umbrella in case of rain. We are also happy to supply you with an ugly poncho to wear!

Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. We reserve the right to cancel a tour in case of dangerous weather (lightning, tornado warnings, icy sidewalks/roads), in which case we will offer full refunds.

The tour guide will keep the temperature in mind when leading the tour. They will look for the shade, sun, or air conditioning when necessary. We are generally outside no longer than 15 minutes at a time with plenty of time in indoor restaurants to cool off, or warm up. Mother Nature can't rain on our food parade!

Yes, advance tickets are required as tours typically sell out in advance. Please reserve early to get your preferred date and time. Don't procrastinate; food waits for no one!
