Culinary History Tour of Savannah
Marcy was an excellent guide very knowledgeable. Portions of food offered was large. Dessert stop was a little disappointing as it was just a scoop of ice cream. A lot of walking in 100 degree heat. Tour was advertised as 6 food stops there were only 4 stops.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing Marcy’s excellent guidance! We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the number of food stops. Our True South Lunch Tour includes 4 stops, and we were unaware that Viator was displaying incorrect information. We’ve contacted them to have this corrected immediately. We also appreciate your feedback on the dessert and understand Savannah’s summer heat can make the walk more challenging. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out to our team directly by email at savannah@flavorsfoodtours.com.

Yummy tour in Savannah
We had a delightful time with Caeli. She made the whole tasty experience lots of fun. She was organized, entertaining and informed. She shared stories gently as they were pertinent. Us two ladies over 75 appreciated the stops to sit and rest in the shade. We loved learning about the impact of SCAD on Savannah downtown. My only wish is that we could have ended the tour closer to the starting point and our car….we were tired from the heat and the walk.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We're so happy Caeli made your Savannah experience fun, informative, and comfortable, especially with shaded rest stops along the way. We also appreciate your suggestion about ending closer to the starting point and will share it with our team as we continue refining the experience. ❤️ You’re now officially a Flavors Foodie Insider and can enjoy 10% off your next tour in San Juan, St. Thomas, or Savannah, Georgia ❤️

Fabulous lunch food tour
This was well worth our time and money. We had the chance to eat some local fare we may not have tried on our own. The food served wasn't small portions. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the food and history of Savannah. Do not hesitate to put this on your Savannah itinerary.
