Food Daze Tours

My husband and I purchased tickets, a month in advance for the Midtown Atlanta food tour. We were celebrating our 15^th wedding anniversary and the food tour sounded like a great way to celebrate.
Since we live a couple of hours from Midtown Atlanta and the tour was supposed to start at 11am, we drove down the night before and stayed in a hotel.
A representative from Food Daze called in the morning — 2 hours prior to the tour time and cancelled the tour due to bad weather. The weather couldn’t have been any better — 60 degrees and sunny! She said the tour was cancelled due to high winds and there wasn’t even a slight breeze!
We are incredibly disappointed in the lack of professionalism of this company. We are still trying to get our credit card refunded for the tickets.

Same story as everyone but Nicole — guess she got really lucky! I had a reservation for a tour today. I got to the Café Agora and no one was there. The guy at the restaurant said this happens all the time. I called Food Daze and they acted shocked. They called me back and said the tour had been cancelled — though they failed to notify ME of that fact. Living Social refunded my money, so not a total wash, but I would stay away from doing business with these people.

My friend and I each purchased a living social voucher to take the Midtown Atlanta Foodie Tour. We tried contacting the vendor through multiple means for weeks. We called the number on the Living Social (LS) voucher, we called the number on their website, we sent messages through the contact us form on their website — all to no avail. In fact, the phone number goes right to voice mail, I believe it may be a cell number.
I called LS to explain that my friend and I have both been unsuccessful in connecting with Food Daze to redeem our vouchers for weeks and the expiration is approaching. LS gave me a Gmail address to contact the company. LS said others have called in sharing the same experience, so LS asked the vendor for another way to contact them and were told to give customers the Gmail address.
I emailed their Gmail, also to no avail. This company does not respond to the phone calls or emails. So, today I received an email from LS advertising the sale of this voucher again! So, I called in to LS and explained that for seven weeks, I cannot get a hold of this vendor to redeem my voucher. LS gave me my money back as an LS credit.
Do not waste your time or money with Food Daze. They are either scammers or people who do not know how to run a business.

We didn’t even get to do the tour!!! We were sent a cancellation email at 10:48 pm the NIGHT before we were supposed to do the food tour. Mind you, we called and booked the tour about a month and a half ahead. The reason… not because of the weather or illness, but because Cheryl over sold on Groupon and Living Social which lead to her overbooking. We knew something was a bit shady when she would NEVER respond to our email requests in a timely manner. UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

I absolutely loved this tour. I planned this outing for myself and two business associates. Our tour as well started at Café Agora and I agree with the other reviewer the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. However that’s were the the similarities end.
At café Agoura not only did we have amazing food but the owner came upstairs to the private area we were in and told us all about the sample platter we had all just enjoyed. From there we went onto 10 and had chicken and waffles on a stick delicious. We’re once again the chef came out and told us about what we were ha ing and the thought process behind the menu. I could go on and on but we had the same experience at the next 2 restaurants. As for history we got a lot of history.
Let me also say that my 2 business associates had a great time and called me afterwards with many thanks.
Take the tour I know you won’t be disappointed.

Food Daze will leave you «dazed and confused!» My 3 girlfriends and I thought the midtown walking tour would be a great day out sans the hubbies and children. I am a native Atlantan and my friends are longtime residents. We all love food, know a great deal about the city and were interested in getting to sample several specialty dishes from each restaurant on the tour as well as getting to speak with the owner (or at the very least, a knowledgeable employee!) about the philosophy of the restaurant, etc. We also expected for quite a bit of area history to be included as many tour goers would most likely be visitors to Atlanta. The tour started at Café Agora on Peachtree Place and the food we were given to sample was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, full of intense flavors, presented beautifully and was an ample amount for each of us. However; we never met anyone from the restaurant and quickly moved on. The next stop was Empire State South. We were thrilled about this selection and couldn’t wait to see the space and try some of their signature items, but instead were led to an outside public seating space because the restaurant was closed. We were given inedible balled and crumbled up pieces of pie that seemed to be leftovers from a promotional luncheon and were wrapped and boxed as such. They even included a promotional «squeeze ball» like item inside the box! The tour continued to rapidly decline with repeated visits to restaurants that did not seem to be expecting us leaving us to feel like uninvited guests. At the restaurant Escorpion, near the Fox, we were given one small appetizer that was supposed to be enough for 8 people and then my friend burned her hand on the scalding hot water from the tap in the bathroom. The manager asked her if she «turned the cold on along with the hot, or just the hot.» Unfortunately, this was a terrible experience and even though our guide communicated our displeasure to the company owner, what we were offered in return was a gift certificate for another tour! DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS TOUR!
