If you can only choose one food tour- why not choose the cheaper one with more food stops? Two additional stops in the afternoon were the Peanut store and 3 George’s candy store. Evening’s final two stops were tacos and bread pudding. Afternoon last stops were Oysters and beignets. You decide.

The fact that you'll be getting photographs taken in two locations during the same session is unheard of in photography. I've spent quite some time thinking about how I could create a wonderful photowalk and this is just that. I find the best way to end my day is walking the beach, so with that in mind. I've added my photography skills and am ready to capture your candid moments.

Incredible photographer. Has a fantastic sense of humor that can get anyone to smile. Quick turn around on the photos and really has the eye for taking great photographs. We've been using Sand Marcus for the last 3 years and his dedication to detail really shows.

You’ll need walking shoes, dress for the weather, and prepare to be over fed. We started at Dauphin’s with not only an appetizer but also bread and Hibiscus butter. Floradita’s was a slider, plantain chips and a small dessert. The list goes on. Every stop was a small meal. Our guide always made sure we had a cup of water. Our questions about Mobile or it’s history were answered. She even took us to the Creole Fire station for some local history and to provide a break from the endless buffet. Sprinkle is an outstanding guide. She knows her town, her food and she went out of her way to make sure everyone had an enjoyable evening.

In 1969 the Swampers founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and within months they were attracting hit recording artists from around the world who came to them in search of the signature sound that forever changed American music. Through the generosity of Beats Electronics the legendary studio has been authentically restored. From the vintage equipment in the control room upstairs to the orange carpet in the Swampers' party room downstairs, the building looks exactly as it did during those magical years between 1969 and 1978. Peek into the bathroom where Keith Richards put the finishing touches on Wild Horses or sit at the piano that Paul Simon played on Kodachrome.
Inclusions: Professionally Guided Tour

The tour guide was wonderful. He is a wealth of knowledge and stories. We had to wait about 40 minutes for the next tour and the guy running it was great at telling some of the stories of the place too. So it seemed like 2 tours in one! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

This is the introduction and exploration of our dark and interesting history and covers many of the main haunted and unusual sights downtown. We begin with the tales of the founding of our city as a rough and tumble mine and mill town, and continue through on with missing children, spiteful murders, and discovered corpses. We hear the tales of two of our haunted hotels, and four of the five original churches of the city. There is then the tale of murders most sad, which has led to the legends of the “Mermaid of the Lake” and the major riot that followed. Then continuing through the darkness, with the shadowy footsteps that follow…to the discovery of a hidden cemetery or two…
