Choosing an Atlanta BeltLine food tour comes down to what you want to eat and drink. The paved 14-foot-wide path makes it easy to walk between historic neighborhoods and modern food halls. Prices and itineraries vary, so check what each tour includes before you book.
What are the best Atlanta BeltLine food tours?
The two main guided options focus on different aspects of the trail's history and street art alongside local food.
You can choose between a history-heavy tour through Inman Park or a street-art-focused route near Krog Street Market. Both options include a cocktail tasting and samples that equal a full meal.
How much does a food tour cost?
Guided food tours typically range from $79 to $120 or more per adult.
Prices change depending on the platform and what is included. The history and food tour starts at $99 and includes tastings at locally owned restaurants. The food and art tour features five stops and starts at $95. If you want a dedicated rooftop cocktail experience, expect prices from $129.
Which tour is best for history lovers?
The Atlanta Beltline & Historic Inman Park Food, Art & History Tour blends neighborhood background with local bites.
This 3-hour tour covers the old rail corridor and Atlanta's first planned suburb. The guides partner with James Beard Award-winning and nominated spots. They can also accommodate most food allergies without extra fees.
Which tour focuses on street art?
The Food & Street Art Tour combines diverse tastings with an interactive art experience.
This 2.5-hour walk covers less than one mile. You will stop at Krog Street Market and try Southern favorites, international dishes, and handcrafted chocolates. Along the way, the guide points out the area's massive outdoor art gallery.
Can I take a cocktail-focused tour?
Yes, there is a dedicated 2-hour rooftop cocktails and bites experience.
This option costs from $129 and is restricted to adults 21 and over. You visit venues like Bazati, Hotel Clermont, and Atrium. It includes three full craft cocktails and several small plates. Bring a government-issued ID.
How does a self-guided food walk compare?
A self-guided walk is cheaper and allows you to set your own pace.
If you prefer not to book a tour, you can visit Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market independently. Both are located right on the trail. You pay only for what you order, but you will miss the curated stops and guide commentary.
