Our tour guide rose was so sweet, friendly and super smart! She shared so much history and knowledge of the area. We definitely learned a lot. The food was also wonderful! Rose took care of all the details ordering for us and making sure everyone had something to enjoy. I would do this trip again!

My tour guide was Jessica. She was an awesome tour guide and I had a great time. She was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us some great history and interesting facts. The food was amazing and I look forward to revisiting some restaurants that I had never been to before.

      It was great! Jessica was awesome! The stops she chose were perfect and the shrimp and grits were our favorite!

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and that Jessica made it memorable, especially the shrimp and grits!

      It is ok

      Molly_W, Feb 2026
      It was fine. Our tour guide shared with us what was in the manual. She was kind and gracious. I have been on food tours where the guide was passionate about the area and the food. I walked away with love of the food and area this tour was fine but not amazing.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Hello Molly, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear our guide was kind and gracious, and appreciate the honest comparison to tours you’ve loved. We aim for guides who bring the neighborhood and food to life, so we are sorry this visit felt “fine” rather than memorable. I’ve shared your feedback with our team. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We hope you give us a second chance in the future.

      Don’t waste your money

      Tom_C, Feb 2026
      This was the worst food tour I have been on and the most expensive. At each stop it was obvious that the restaurant wasn’t prepared for us. Stop 1 - each “couple” actually split a bowl of shrimp and grits - one plate - 2 spoons. Stop 2 was at a bar - we were able to choose between a beer or wine - place so crowded our guide asked us to wait outside while she ran in to get our drinks for the road. Stop 3 restaurant was so crowded we sat at the bar as a group and the food we were supposed to get wasn’t on the menu.. Stop 4 was ice cream. I believe i was served about $35-40 worth of food and drink and psi $122. Will not book from this company again

      Delicious Food and great Tour Guide

      Linda_D, Feb 2026
      Brittany was very knowledgeable about the origin of each dish, the history of the buildings of the restaurants, and others as we walked to the next stop. The food was delicious. Can't wait to tell my friends and take the lunch tour.

      Fabulous Tour!!

      Heidi_W, Oct 2025
      Fantastic food tour! Our guide, Rose, was friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. The stops are well chosen, the food is very representative of the South and delicious! Do show up hungry as there is quite a bit of food. They include one alcoholic beverage but you can buy more at any stop. Please let the operator know of any food allergies: the tour includes shellfish and dairy, I didn’t ask but I’m thinking they can accommodate. I take food tours in many cities around the world and this one ranks among the very best. Great job Rose! Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon!!

      Margaret_B, Oct 2025
      I thought for $125 each we would get a lot more food; basically we shared a few appetizers and did not even go to the ice cream place that Savannah is known for; went to a cheaper version. The guide was 19 so young and inexperienced but she did know a lot of history. I would never recommend this food tour. I have done many tours in many cities/countries and I would have to rate this one very poor

      Response from Host, Nov 2025

      Awesome food tour!!

      Fun, informative history about Savannah. Add the great food and drinks - it's a winner! Thank you Cathy and Jessica!

      Great way to try new places and new food!!

      Katie_H, Mar 2025
      We had a wonderful time with Michael on this tour. The amount of interesting history facts was wonderful in such a great city like Savannah. We also appreciated that it was not cancelled even though it was only my husband and I. On the other hand, we only stopped at 2 restaurants, one bar, and one ice cream shop. (We thought there would be at least another restaurant or two) But, that being said, the food was delicious and we had the best time.

      Rebecca was a pleasure!...

      Richard_B, Feb 2025

      Excellent Food Tour!

      Daniel_D, Dec 2024
      Leslie was such a fun and funny person! She clearly loves what she does and is such a foodie! This tour was great for the food but it was also an excellent introductory tour of Savannah.

      Glad we signed up !

      susan_S, Nov 2024
      Wonderful tour with Michael. So much interesting history plus some delicious local foods. Very glad we took this tour.

      Response from Host, Dec 2024

We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you on another tour in the future.

      Terrific Food Tour

      Kriste_R, Nov 2024
      Food tours are always at the top of our list of things to do when we’re on vacation. The more authentic flavors of the region, the better. This tour offered exactly what we were hoping for in Savannah - shrimp and grits, baked oysters, she crab soup, a drink (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) at an Irish pub, and ice cream. Michael was our awesome tour guide! He was incredibly communicative and helpful before, during, and after the tour. He was sure to address any dietary issues/preferences before and during the tour, provided a lot of interesting history during the course of the tour, and followed up with us after the tour with recommendations that he sent to us via text.

      A fun time that includes tasty bites

      Randy_H, Nov 2024
      Rebecca was a great guide with lots of local/food knowledge. Not too much walking in this well organized tour. There was a good variety of samples at some top restaurants, but don't expect to be full at the end of the tour.

      Response from Host, Dec 2024

      Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that Rebecca’s local and food knowledge made your tour enjoyable. Her passion for showcasing the best of the area truly shines through. We’re happy you appreciated the well-organized structure and variety of samples from top restaurants. While the tour is designed as a tasting experience, we’re glad it offered a delicious glimpse into the local flavors. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again for another memorable culinary adventure!

      Fun tour

      Michael_G, Oct 2024
      Michael made the tour interesting and fun with all the history about Savanah. Food was wonderful, gave us ideas on where we’d like to go back to dine. Highly recommend!

      Come hungry

      Greg_H, Aug 2024
      Food was great and Cathy told a lot of history about the town. Easy walk and your. Good mix of food and stories

      Would go again!

      Melody_H, Jun 2024
      Pamela is a great tour guide, friendly and easy going. All stops were unhurried and provided generous portions. We spent less time in the heat and more in the restaurants.

      Wonderful tastes of Savannah

      Elizabeth_C, Jun 2024
      Our tour guide was awesome and the food was so good especially the shrimp & grits and crab cakes…we are still full from all the food!

      Great spots, great food, great tour guides

      Debra_C, May 2024
      Started off at Madison Square with our tour guides Leslie and Cathy. Both were enthusiastic and very knowledgable about history and locations. Our food tour included amazing, perfectly-cooked shrimp and grits at the lovely Gryphon Tea Room. The room was very old artsy with chandeliers, books, nooks and ladies with fascinators having tea. Next, we headed to the Six Pence Pub which is one of the oldest British pubs authentic with flags, art work and a framed photo of King Charles. We were served either a beer or wine and bangers and mash and crabcakes. Next up was Husk Restaurant. Reconstructed after a fire -- this boujee restaurant had several floors and was gorgeous. All food was local farmers and menu was daily based on such. We had oysters which were incredible -- possibly the best raw ones I've tasted. They were served on an ice tray with lemon, sauce and a bottle dropper with infused-oil ingredients. They were wonderful. We then had pimento cheese served with homemade flat-seeded crackers. The combinations were perfectly paired and delicious. We ordered a Pinkie Swear cocktail which was decorated with a flower cluster and was delicious. We continued our journey to River Street Sweets for a praline and ended at the famous Leopold's ice cream parlor. It was a rainy day but that never stopped us from moving along, learning the history, visiting many of the 22 Savannah squares and enjoying our tour with 4 other tourists. Our tour guides were funny and interactive. It was a wonderful experience! @flavorsfoodtours #southerntraditionsdinnertour

      I was pleasantly surprised the tour included local history as well as food. Our guide was informative and gracious, and did not fret when the experience ran a little longer than expected.

      Awesome!

      Wendy_S, Apr 2024
      Had great.food and very interesting history of the area and buildings we visited. I would recommend this tour. Very pertinent to the city.

      Great Food Tour of Local Cuisine

      Sandra_V, Mar 2024
      Tour Guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Adaptable towards the touring guest needs, likes/dislikes. Shared, not just about the food we enjoyed and locations we visited, but local culture and history as well. I would highly recommend this tour to others! The smaller group also made it more enjoyable.
