Real groups. Real Nashville. Real meals.
A 3-hour walking tour through six locally-owned, scratch-kitchen restaurants in the heart of downtown Nashville. Founder-led. Small group. The way locals would show you the city.
Same six stops. Same generous portions. The difference is what you sip along the way.
Tours run year-round, seven days a week. Most weekends fill up two to three weeks ahead, so the earlier you grab your spot, the better. Book in under 60 seconds and you'll get an instant confirmation by email with everything you need to know.
Every stop is independently owned by Nashvillians, with food made from scratch in-house. No chains, no franchises. The places locals actually eat.
I started this tour in 2018 and personally trained every guide. You will get a real local who knows every restaurant owner by name, not a script-reading employee.
Top 1% of all attractions worldwide on TripAdvisor. 2,600+ five-star reviews. The most-recommended food tour in Nashville for nearly a decade.
Before this tour, I wasn't loving Nashville. After, I wanted to stay.On top of the food and drinks (all locally owned), I enjoyed the history and stories. It made me feel connected and not just a tourist.
I've done two food tours in Nashville. This one blows them out of the water.Great pace, time for music is built in, and local restaurants and cocktails that have a story. Can't recommend this tour enough.
We've done quite a few food tours around the world, and this stands out as one of the best.Thoughtful picks of restaurants, history along the way, small group, and a personable guide. Highly recommend.
We had THE BEST food tour for our group of Penn State students.Several students with allergies mentioned how safe they felt about the care and attention given to their individual allergies. Our guides were AMAZING.
A few practical details so you can show up ready.
Most food tours stick to chains and tourist traps. I wanted something my friends would actually want to do when they came to visit me in Nashville.
So in 2018 I built A Little Local Flavor with two simple rules: every stop has to be locally owned, and every dish has to be made from scratch. Eight years later we have hosted more than 23,000 guests and I still personally pour the welcome drink at most tours.
