Shannon was a fun, knowledgeable guide. I’ve been to Savannah numerous times but learned quite a few new things on this tour. Food was great. Lots of hidden gems you’d never find on your own. Perfect amount of good you. It’s a must do in Savannah!
Good information about the areas and history. Enjoyed the food at the stops. Merrill did a great job guiding the group and making it an enjoyable tour.
We are so glad you had a good time with Merrill! She knows her stuff!
This was a fun and tasty day overall. Ann did a great job of both pointing out restaurant/food attractions and sharing Savannah stories with us as we walked around the city. The food was good and gave us a nice sense of Savannah's southern coastal culture. The chicken salad sandwich at Zunzibar and the fried green tomatoes at Sorry Charlie were standouts to us (as were the boiled peanuts - the seasoning was great, and we agree they might not have been to our liking without it).
We are so glad y'all enjoyed your time with Anne, and that you feel like you got to know our city some during your adventure! Come back soon!
Was absolutely impressed with most of the locations we visited. The little empanada shop alone was worth the tour, add in the staring location….we went back to almost every location. Highly recommend to do early in the trip as a “research mission” to give you a good approach on where to spend the rest of your trip. A bit of local culture as you walk. Not too much food, but you don’t leave hungry.
It's definitely the yummiest way to get the lay of the land for sure! We're glad y'all had fun, please come back soon!
There is a lot of walking, but its broken up nicely with information breaks and the restaurants. Food was amazing. Joshua is so informative.
We're glad y'all had a good time with Josh while getting your steps in! Come back soon!
We enjoyed the southern secret food tour. Our guide, Ann, was very energetic and knowledgeable about Savannah history. We enjoyed the food but expected more southern specialties. The chicken sandwiches and empanadas were delicious but we can get that in any city and would have preferred foods that Savannah is famous for, such as she-crab soup, shrimp and grits, or peach cobbler. We also felt that the amount of food included was less than other food tours and were hungry for dinner shortly afterwards.
Hey, we're so sorry that we fell short. Our other tour, the First Squares food tour, does have shrimp and grits and she crab soup! Enjoy the rest of your time in Savannah!
Easily walkable, and had the opportunity to taste different foods. Our tour guide, Ann had a wealth of knowledge.
Anne is the best! We're so glad the tour was easy and fun!
We had an amazing time with Josh and Juli! Amazing variety of restaurants and a bit of history too! Would recommend to anyone travelling to Savannah.
Country was a great tour guide. The food was really good. Great tour around Savannah. Worth the money.
Yay! Thanks so much for letting us know!
The best tour I had in Savannah! Will definitely do again. I enjoyed the food that was part of the tour and the walk around the city.
Wow! Thanks for the awesome review! We're so glad you had a good time and loved the food!
