Great food tour! Jessica was friendly and took good care of us. The foods were delicious -- shrimp & grits, Beignets, fried green tomatoes, she-crab soup, cheese croquettes, and ice cream. We were with a nice group of people and enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful tour guide, Bridget, who gave us a real understanding of the tastes and sights of Savannah. She was terrific. By the way, she took a selfie of us, which we looked forward to, but never received. If possible, could you ask her to re-send that picture to us?
