Had briefly visited Savannah before, but this made for a much more satisfying experience. Really good combination of food and area history. All of the food stops had interesting and tasty offerings and they were well paced with the walk around the downtown and harbor areas. The guide was knowledgeable and personable. Our tour group interacted with each other well, too, which also made it an enjoyable experience. Well worth the cost and time spent. Highly recommend!!!!!

We had the best guide. He was passionate and very knowledgable and shared a lot about food and history! We were so full from all of our stops that we skipped dinner.

Our guide, Gayle, led us through a fabulous tour of Savannah and the south through food and drink. Starting with sweet tea (southern wine) and ending with honey tastings, we sampled the must-try treats of the south. This was a well-paced tour with a mix of history, culture, points of interest and stories to complement the tasty treats. There is also an opportunity to buy cocktails, beer or wine at some of the stops. Great experience!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Shannon. Her storytelling about Savannah’s history was engaging, and her sense of humor made the entire experience even more enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to include the cost of the mojito/mocktail in the tour price to avoid the extra expense at that stop. Otherwise, it was absolutely worth it and a truly delightful afternoon.

The food was delicious! We actually returned to one of the eateries the next day. But this was more than just a culinary experience. Our knowledgeable guide, Gail, presented us with interesting historical facts along the way.
