My favorite part of the experience was trying food from different restaurants. My favorite was the first stop, Jonah's Fish and Grits, it was delicious 😋. The walking tour was amazing to learn that so many famous people have vacationed in this small Georgia town. Diane did a fantastic job giving short explanations of the restaurants, keeping our tour moving at a nice pace to enjoy the food, and walk through the town at a leisurely pace to tell us some of the history behind the historical buildings we walked by on the way to each restaurant. Excellent tour!! I highly recommend staying after the tour to enjoy some leisurely shopping and experience one of the restaurants for dinner.

Such an awesome experience and such an AMAZING tour guide! Aleigh, a master storyteller (in a good way ;), recounts pieces of history of Thomasville bringing it to life in such a way that makes you want to visit again and again! The food stops were wonderful for both the drinker and nondrinker alike!! I look forward to visiting again (and with more confidence!).

My daughter gifted this to me for a Christmas gift. We had a great mother/daughter time with a very nice group of other locals from the region. The weather was very nice for an evening stroll through the beautiful old downtown Thomasville, Ga. All the restaurants that we visited were ready for out little group. Each restaurant offered delicious samples of their great food. The beer, wine, and/or cocktails were notable also. I highly recommend this adult food tour. Our tour guide, Aleigh, did a great job escorting us to each location while she enlightened us all with the history of the area and the restaurant. The walk was an easy pace and very pleasant.

This. Tour. Was. Awesome. I did the morning tour with girlfriends and it was an awesome tour. Our guide took us on a historical and eating tour for two hours. It was just enough walking to walk off everything we ate. We talked about the city's history, then ate, then walked, and repeated this four times! There is always a line to get into Jonah's but we had a table reserved and walked right in! The shrimp and grits did not disappoint and the hushpuppy was great too. We then walked downtown and enjoyed some cheeses from Sweet Grass Dairy. The downtown street is loaded with unique boutiques and it was all I could do not to shop along the way. We next visited George and Louis' with the owner coming out to greet us! Best prices I've seen in awhile on seafood and it did not disappoint in tast. Next stop was A.J. Moonspin and the pizza and breadsticks were down-right delicious! Our last stop was the Bookshelf Bookstore for coffee and dessert. It was packed with people who were enjoying the incredible selection they offered and they even have an online book club that's very reasonable! I plan to do this tour again at night (which comes with or without cocktails) and probably this one again with friends. A great way to spend the day and it won't disappoint. Of course, I rushed back to all the boutiques after the tour to do some serious shopping! Very reasonably priced!

Thank you for this wonderful review. We love when our guest are surprised that we can get into Jonah's without waiting. But all of our stops are special. We can't wait for you to come back to do the AfterHours Tour.

This tour deserves more than 5 stars! I have done the day tour twice and this was my second night tour bringing my family from Mississippi. Alleigh was an excellent host lots of interesting facts about Thomasville and made us laugh with all of her funny jokes. Food and service was incredible. Can't wait to take a third tour!

Living in Tallahassee, we often drive up to Thomasville for a quick dinner and stroll through Downtown, stopping at the same restaurant each time. After taking the evening Taste of Thomasville food tour, we realized we have been missing out on all of the fabulous restaurants Thomasville has to offer! All five places we stopped at were incredibly delicious, and we will be adding them into our Date Night rotation.
The actual tour itself was fantastic, in large part due to our Tour Guide Aleigh. Aleigh walked us through the history and stories of Thomasville, and she was able to answer every question we had — and there were many!
We will definitely be going on the Taste of Thomasville Food Tour again. We love the Evening Tour, and we now would love to try the Day time tour, which stops at different restaurants. The Food tour is also such a good deal that we may return for the Dinner one again soon!

It's funny how people get into a routine of doing the same thing when they come to Thomasville. We are so glad that we got to introduce you to some new stops. And we can't wait for you to try the Day Tour for a completely different variety of restaurants. AND...Aleigh is great! She makes our AfterHours Tour so much fun!
Thank you so much for the great review.

We've done some food tours, and most of them should have been called "a Taste of" while this one should be "a FULL MEAL of"! We had the best time with Hope on our tour. She was a wonderful guide, very easy to work with and accommodating of one of our party members with some mobility concerns. She set a pace that was friendly for everyone and we never felt rushed, still making all our stops pleasant and enjoyable. What was the biggest surprise, though, was the quantity of quality food on this tour. We were full at the end of it, and enjoyed every leg of the journey. There were no weak spots, and that is challenging to do. We certainly tasted some full-meal stops for our next Thomasville trip!

Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad your group had Hope. She is great at pacing a group that might have some with walking issues. I glad everyone had a great time and left full. I am glad you are considering another trip to Thomasville so that you can eat a full meal. And I will consider a new name for the tour..."Full Meal of Thomasville" (lol)

This was a wonderful tour! We we fortunate to have Aleigh as our tour guide, who was AMAZING!! She was knowledgeable about the history of Thomasville, very entertaining and obviously loves what she does. The food was wonderful at each stop and complimented by the perfect drink. We couldn't even pick a favorite when we tried. There were some very nice people that we enjoyed meeting and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. However, there was a family in our group that seemed to have not been aware that the "walking tour" involved walking. Aleigh was very professional at diffusing any issues and did not let that dampen our good time. We give Aleigh and the tour a five star and look forward to our next time we can take guests.
