Unique tastes

The food was great and our guide Joshua was very knowledgeable, we got a mini history tour during our walk. There was a lot of walking in between the food stops. We only went to 5 places and the portions varied greatly between stops. At one stop we had a single fried green tomato but at another we each got a whole sandwich. The listing said to come hungry and that it was enough food for lunch, a couple of the members of our party agreed but others were still hungry at the end of the tour. I do like that it is a loop and you end at the same place you started, and they gave us 10% off everything in the store that hosts the tour.

A food tour is a great...

A food tour is a great way to learn about a city. Our tour with Riley was the highlight of our stay in Savannah. She was a lot of fun and gave us great history of the area as well. We were a small group of four which made it like an afternoon hanging out with friends. I would make this a must do if you are in Savannah for more than a few hours.

5/5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding Tour with Cindy!

We had an incredible experience on this food tour! Our guide, Cindy, was sweet, knowledgeable, and overall amazing. Every single food spot was delicious, unique, and offered something different! We left completely full and thoroughly satisfied. It was a hot day, but Cindy went above and beyond to keep us comfortable. She made sure we had water at every single stop and constantly guided us to the most shaded areas. Not a single complaint! I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone and would gladly take this tour with her again.
