2026 Nashville Food Tour
Tom was an exceptional tour guide. He was informative and professional. Many good photo opportunities.
Response from the operator: Hi Kathleen, Thanks for sharing! We're so happy to hear it and can't wait to see which tour you choose next.

Tasting and Strolling the Gulch
A fun walk through the gulch with great tidbits of local history, particularly related to Nashville’s music scene. Todd was an engaging tour host with good energy. The food in each location was delicious. The only downside was two of the food stops being in one location: the Canopy Hotel. Still enjoyed it; just wish we had a separate fifth stop.
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thanks for joining us in The Gulch! We're so glad Todd brought the neighborhood and its music history to life and kept the tour moving with good energy. We also appreciate the feedback about the food stops. That's helpful for us as we continue looking at the overall tour experience. Hope we get to show you another delicious side of Nashville sometime!

The 1st and only food tour you need to book in Nashville!
So...much...food. It is worth it! Make sure you ask for Tom Oberon. He is very knowledgeable and was able to get us into such great restaurants. You definitely want to make sure you have room to eat because the portions are fantastic.
Response from the operator: Hi Reginald, Thank you for sharing your Sidewalk Food Tour experience! We agree with your recommendation... Come hungry!

Awesome Food Tour of the Gulch with Bonus Murals
The Gulch was a fantastic area for a food tour. There was so much great food that we brought home leftovers. My daughter is a vegetarian and our guide did a great job with accommodations. Not only were all the stops on the tour amazing (our favorites were the Mexican place and the BBQ) but we also got to see some of the most iconic Nashville murals. The meals were full sized and weren’t just quick bites, we sat down in the various restaurants. Our guide was excellent, full of personality and stories that were engaging around the food, restaurants and history of the town.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear your guide helped make the experience so enjoyable and that your daughter felt well taken care of. We love hearing that guests leave with great memories, full hearts, and maybe a little extra food to enjoy later! We hope to see you and your family on another Sidewalk Food Tour soon.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nashville is not rushed.
Is Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 116 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours?
+
Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nashville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nashville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nashville?
+
Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+), Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nashville?
+
April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nashville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours?
+
Included: Lunch. Not included: gratuity for your guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours?
+
Your guide will meet you at 401 11th Ave S (outside in front of Marsh House Restaurant) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours?
+

+

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Downtown Nashville Food Tour With Sidewalk Food Tours if the weather is bad?
