Unexpected Atlanta Tours & Gifts offers #1 rated Atlanta walking tours. We are Atlanta experts, passionate storytellers, and home-grown Atlanta natives. That’s not just marketing fluff: we have *literally* written the award-winning book on Atlanta’s culinary history. In 2015, our founder, Akila McConnell, envisioned a new type of tour company — an unexpected tour company — that combined honest and important history in fun and engaging ways. Business coaches told her that she was “gutsy” to incorporate civil rights history in a food tour, but she knew there was more to Atlanta than just the aquarium and airport. Rave reviews soon followed and, today, 35,000+ guests each year continue to be riveted by the companies’ passionate and vivid storytelling. There’s a reason we have more 5 star reviews than any other Atlanta walking or food tour: we love our city and can’t wait to share Atlanta with you.
