The Best Time!
Had the best time with Walk Eat Nashville! Our tour guide, Teresa, was so knowledgeable about not only the food but the history of the land. An easy walk, and worth every stop! Every restaurant had its own flare which kept our palettes interested and our stomachs full.
Female owned & run business. Small business. Local. I will be recommending them to all who venture down to Nashville!
