Ok I admit it, this was our 3rd food tour. .each time we have visited new restaurants and learned new things about Knoxville. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and shares Knoxville history between stops. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon, visitor or local. The restaurants are amazing!

Awww...I was recovering from the flu, and as I said at the beginning of the tour, my voice was about half way there, so that could have been the reason I was a little quiet that day. Thank you so much for coming on the tour. I am very proud of all of the tour vendors. - Paula More

We purchased a Groupon and almost let it expire, so glad we didn't. We were so happy with the food and the portions!!!

We had a wonderful... More

We are planning to move to Knoxville and went on a food tour to get more familiar with the area- so worth it! Plus we know it will be great for when friends and family come to visit!

Our tour started with a small snack at the Knoxville Visitor's center, which being locals, my husband and I had never visited.... More

I have lived and worked in Knoxville for several years and I still learned a good bit of the history that I did not know. Also, we were able to sample very tasty cuisine at several locations. A great way to spend an afternoon.

There were 4 of us and we took the Saturday afternoon van tour. Paula was our host for the afternoon and she was delightful. We started at Sapphire (where we had a drink), moved on to Abundant Life Kitchen Catering (thank you Tony for such a delicious meal!), then to the South's Finest Chocolate Factory (great chocolate covered potato chips)...

We took the Sat afternoon van tour. We went to four fabulous places and were stuffed when we were done. We even got to hear a little history of the downtown area. This was a great way to learn about Knoxville and sample some great food, too
