The idea for Marietta Food Tours was created by Brian and Cecilie Benefield in 2014. It was born from their desire to taste cuisines from locally owned and operated restaurants during their travels. Their love for Marietta combined with wonderful experiences while on food tours during trips to destinations such as San Francisco, Chicago and Nassau, Bahamas inspired them to create Marietta’s first culinary and cultural walking food tour experience. As long time Marietta residents, they were delighted at the opportunity to impart a vast array of interesting facts about The Marietta Square’s rich history and architecture, as well as showcase its fine eating establishments.
