Great food, fun guide and interesting history

Great tour! Good food, great guide and lots of interesting information about Savannah - current and historical. We ended the tour with a honey tasting in a fun little honey shop.

Great food, fun guide and interesting history and facts

Great food tasting tour! We tried a variety of Southern favorites and ended with a honey tasting at a fun honey shop. Josh was a great guide. We not only tasted great food, Josh also gave us plenty of information and stories about Savannah history. Loved it!

First time doing a food tour but not my last!

This was our first food tour and it will not be our last! We lucked out and had Demi as our guide. She is an architecture major at SCAD. She provided us with such an in depth explanation of the historical buildings and the materials used - it was fascinating! Well worth your time. Bring water and a fan for those summer months.

It didn’t feel like a...

It didn’t feel like a southern food tour. If I wanted British food I would go to the UK. SHE crab soup was authentic but the soup was lukewarm. Like it was pre-plated earlier than it should have been. Biscuits that we had first thing were super dense and not what you would expect for southern biscuits which are light and fluffy if done right. We have done a lot of food tours in different countries and cities and this was our least favorite.
