"My friends and I celebrated my bachelorette in Nashville 4th of July weekend and this was one of the highlights. We had a big group but she made sure we all got individual attention. The food, drinks, and music were all incredible."

"We went to Nashville for my sister's 40th, and our A Little Local Flavor food tour was a major highlight of our visit. Sam, our guide, was incredible. We've been talking about her ever since."

"We came to Nashville for the weekend to celebrate a family member's birthday, and while we had a lot of amazing experiences over the weekend, this food tour was really special. This tour, with Sam in particular, is my most highly recommended activity in Nashville."

"Krystin guided my spouse and I on a tour while we were celebrating our 20-year anniversary. We had a wonderful time being introduced to Nashville, its history, food, drink and culture. So glad to have had her and so very happy to support the local businesses that keep Nashville, well, Nashville."
Your private tour is built by a real Nashville local
I started A Little Local Flavor in 2018 because I couldn't find a tour I'd actually take my own friends on. Eight years later we have hosted more than 23,000 guests, and our private tours have become one of the most-requested ways to experience Nashville with a group.
"You'll get a real person, a real plan, and a real answer."
Every private tour I quote, I look at personally. I'll know your group size, your occasion, and any special requests before I respond.
Private tours start at $165 per person, plus the 20% service fee and Tennessee sales tax (9.75%). That's the "$165++" you'll see quoted. Alcohol and non-alcohol packages are available, and smaller groups are priced higher per person to cover guide and venue minimums. Your custom quote spells out the exact per-person total for your group.
Four guests. We can accommodate groups up to 30+. Larger groups can be split across multiple guides or routed through alternate restaurants to keep the experience intimate at every stop.
Yes. Common customizations include alternate stops for dietary restrictions, themed routes (whiskey-focused, Southern classics, sweet treats), and start times that fit your itinerary. Tell us what you have in mind in your inquiry.
Food at six locally owned restaurants, all beverages, and three hours with a founder-trained local guide. The 20% service fee and Tennessee sales tax (9.75%) are added at quoting. Optional add-ons available on request.
4 to 8 weeks ahead for weekends and 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekdays. Peak season (April through October, plus December) fills up faster. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible, especially for weekday tours.
Yes, and we do it well. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, nut allergies, and most other restrictions are accommodated with notice. Each restaurant on our route is briefed in advance so your guests have their alternatives waiting when they sit down.
Corporate groups are one of our most popular private tour categories. Private tours work well for groups of 8 to 30. For full corporate details, invoicing, and larger events up to 300, see our corporate tours page.
Both include the same food at all six stops. The alcohol package adds a beer pairing at our BBQ stop and two whiskey cocktails at our final distillery. The non-alcohol package includes non-alcoholic beverages and a house mocktail instead. Mixed groups are easy to accommodate.
Yes. Groups of 30 to 75+ are split across multiple guides on parallel routes, then everyone reunites at the final distillery stop. This works especially well for corporate retreats and large family reunions.
A 20% deposit holds your date. The deposit and any add-on costs already incurred are non-refundable, but transferable to a different date based on availability.
