The first tastings happen inside Krog Street Market, the food hall at 99 Krog Street NE. The listing gives the market about forty-five minutes and says two of the bites there come from chefs recognized by the James Beard Awards.
The route also takes in the BeltLine Eastside Trail, which the listing traces to an abandoned rail corridor and a Georgia Tech graduate student's 1999 thesis. The listing says the trail's murals rotate every year, and the art on your walk may not match older photos. The group passes the graffiti of the Krog Street Tunnel without stopping.
Victorian Streets and a Six-Lane Fight
The walk finishes in Inman Park. The listing calls it Atlanta's first suburb, a neighborhood built for the city's wealthiest families that later fell into neglect, until, in its words, a bunch of hippies brought the old homes back to life. The guide also tells how residents fought a six-lane raised interstate planned through the neighborhood.
About forty minutes of the listing's schedule go to Inman Park, with the stories told on the walk between tastings. The operator says the guide on this route is an Inman Park resident.
What You Eat, and the One Cocktail
The operator counts five to six locally owned restaurants on the walk, and the listing says the tastings add up to a satisfying meal. The operator's own advice is to skip breakfast.
One cocktail tasting is included; other alcoholic drinks cost extra, and the listing sets the drinking age at 21. Most allergies and food preferences can be handled at no extra charge with at least 24 hours' notice, sent as a message after booking, and the listing says requests without notice are not accommodated. Children are welcome, and the listing sells separate tickets for ages 4 to 12.
How Far You Walk, and in What Weather
The operator puts the route at about two and a half miles, mostly downhill, with plenty of time to sit at the tasting stops, and says anyone who can walk 15 minutes at a leisurely pace without stopping should manage. Its booking notes warn of one unshaded stretch of about 15 minutes. Bring sun protection and comfortable shoes.
The listing twice says the tour is not recommended for people with mobility issues; the operator's FAQ says every restaurant is ADA compliant and the sidewalks used have ramps. Whatever the access at each door, the two and a half miles are the part to weigh.
The walk goes ahead in most weather. The operator says it cancels only for a heavy downpour and phones about an hour ahead, and the listing offers another date or a full refund when weather does call it off. Latecomers can join the group in progress, and the operator does not make up missed tastings.
📍 Meet inside Krog Street Market, 99 Krog Street NE, at a public table near Little Tart Bakeshop. Look for water bottles on the table and a guide carrying a brown messenger bag with the Food Tours Atlanta logo. The operator asks for at least 10 minutes' early arrival, and the tour starts on time.
The listing advises against both of the market's own lots, and the surface lot limits parking to three hours. Park free on Lake Avenue, or use the paid lot a block away at 659 Auburn Ave NE. The walk ends near Lake Avenue, about ten minutes on foot from the market, which puts a car parked there close to the finish.
The listing gives three hours while the operator's own pages say three and a half; keep the early afternoon free. For a full refund on this booking, cancel at least 24 hours before the start. Tips are optional, and the operator says guides take Venmo and Cash App.
The walk finishes on the tree-lined streets of Inman Park, with lunch already behind you.
