There was a wide variety of yummy food sampled. Great drinks available for purchase. Tour was a bit light on the history of the area and heavy on the tour guide's personal life.
This was an awesome experience. Great food and a Great guide. If you can ask for Riley, you will have the best time. Wear your walking shoes and don't eat breakfast!
Riley is a hoot! Thanks for taking the time to let us know that you had fun!
This was a 10 out of 10 experience for my self and my husband. Josh was an exceptional guide and host. He was very informative about the history and local places to visit and enjoy. I would recommend this tour.
Josh is definitely a 10/10! He knows his stuff, and we're so glad you got to take a tour with him. Welcome to the foodie crew!
Fun. Most of the food was really good. We had a tasting of local favorites. Good overview of the area and history. Loved our guide Country!
Awesome! We are so glad you had a good time with Country! Come back soon!
Shannon was knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was delicious! I would recommend this activity tofriends.
That's great! Come back soon and bring those friends!
This is a great way to get a sampling of the diverse culinary choices in Savannah and learn a little bit about the city’s history. The food choices were wonderful and our guide, Shannon, was amazing.
Shannon is amazing! We're so glad you came along and tried some yummy stuff, and hopefully learned something new about our beautiful city!
My family and I love taking food tours in new cities we visit. We have done many around the country. We all agreed that COUNTRY was the best tour guide we ever had. She was knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept us engaged the entire time. The food stops were also really good and we over the 3 hours we walked around the city we felt we learned a lot about the history of the city and tried places we normally would not have.
Country is a hoot-and-a-half, and we are so thrilled that you enjoyed your time with her, tasting your way around the city. We'll be sure to pass along your glowing review to her (she will love it!). Come back and see us (and Country) soon!
We made a reservation with this tour company based on the time of day they offered the tour. Unfortunately, we received a text the day before our reservation that they wanted to change the time due to not having enough people signed up at the time we had reserved. This did not work for us so they refunded us and we booked with another tour company where we ended up being the only couple on the tour but that company did not ask us to reschedule or cancel our tour. We were highly disappointed with this tour company as we were only in the area for a couple days and didn’t have a lot of flexibility with our schedule. We were fortunate to find another tour company who honored our reservation.
We're really sorry to have disappointed y'all, it's the last thing we ever want to do. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your frustrations, and we will review this information internally. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Savannah otherwise, and we hope to see you again someday.
The tour lasted around 3 hours. We went to many places and sampled food from the menu's. Along with the great food, we learned lots of history about each stop and all the spots in between. Great tour.
Yay! That's so awesome! Welcome to the food tour crew!
Great tour with Shannon! Glib, humorous, and she knows her Savannah! Nice group of 10 people. The food and historical stops were well-selected. My personal favorite was the biscuit and gravy in the Vietnamese restaurant. I brought a water bottle as recommended, but it really wasn't needed because cups of cold water were available at every tasting. We finished earlier than advertised, but not by much. My tour departure time was changed twice, and I ended up going 2 hours earlier than planned. Some confusion about our meeting place location, but otherwise good communications from Viator.
Thanks so much for letting us know how things went! We are so sorry for any confusion on our end, that's on us, but we are so glad that you had a good time with Shannon! Please come back and give us another try someday!
