What you'll do:

You'll walk through the heart of Savannah's Historic District on a guided food tour that pairs six local tastings with the history of the city's founding squares — all in about three hours and 1.25 miles on foot.

• Explore four iconic squares – Stroll through the shaded, moss-draped squares that give Savannah its distinct character, with your guide narrating the stories behind each one

• Taste six Southern dishes – Work your way through regional staples like cheese straws, shrimp and grits, and other local favorites selected for their connection to Savannah's culinary identity

• Learn the city's founding story – Your guide weaves in the history of Savannah's original neighborhoods at every stop, so the history lands with the food

• Move at a relaxed pace – The route is flat, walkable from most downtown hotels, and paced for conversation — no rushing between stops

• Share it with your group – Whether you're here for a bachelorette, a birthday, or just a weekend trip, the format is built for groups who want to eat well and see the city

This is one of those tours where you leave knowing Savannah in a way you wouldn't from a map — the squares make sense, the food has context, and the city sticks with you.
