Jessica came to the rescue when the original tour guide had to cancel and she was fantastic. So knowledgeable and all the food we had was delicious.
Had yummy Southern food -best of our whole trip, and a very knowledgeable and friendly guide
The food was excellent and the portions were generous. Our tour guide(Michael), was very good and provided many interesting facts about downtown 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.
A good tour guide that is knowlegible makes all the difference. The 3 hour tour went very well because we walked, sat , ate in comfortable environments (although the outdoor temperature was hot).
Christina is amazing. She made out it entertaining and informative at the same time. Wonderful locations with amazing food and just seeing her friendly interactions with all of the locals was so inspiring. She made the day so worth it. If I could give 10 stars I would. I’m
Highly recommend this food tour and this company to anyone who wants to experience Savannah’s culture through food and fun conversation. Every stop provided amazing food and portion sizes that left us genuinely full. Jessica was a wonderful guide and provided us with tons of local information and even more recs for future meals. We did this tour as our first outing and it set us up perfectly for the rest of our trip.
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.
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.
Great experience, Jessica and Marcy were very knowledgeable about the history and the food was excellent. Well worth the money.
We really enjoyed our food tour in Savannah. Michael was our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge about Savannah and the origins of the tasty items we sampled. Our group was a total of eight which we felt was a perfect size. We are very glad we took the morning tour as it gets a bit warm in the early afternoon.
Jessica was the absolute best guide. We had a fantastic time with our group and the food was all delicious! Time and money WELL SPENT!
Our guide Jessica was friendly, knowledgeable, and made every stop interesting with stories about Savannah’s culture and history. She is personable with the ability to engage the tour group and we felt like we made some new friends. The 5 locations with excellent food selections gave us a real taste of the city. We appreciated her making sure that different options for allergies were available. We especially loved the Southern specialties and learning about the restaurants and local traditions behind each dish. The walking pace was comfortable, and we enjoyed exploring areas we probably would have missed on our own. We would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Savannah who wants a fun, delicious experience.
Great food tour! Jessica was friendly and took good care of us. The foods were delicious -- shrimp & grits, Beignets, fried green tomatoes, she-crab soup, cheese croquettes, and ice cream. We were with a nice group of people and enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend!
Tis was so wonderful. Not only did we get to eat extremely tasty food and learn about those dishes' individual histories, but we also were given some history of Savannah as well as the restaurants we visited. Our tour guide was so well informed and engaging. I will recommend this tour to anyone.
One of the best tours we have been on! The guides were very personable and accommodating! That was in addition to the wonderful choices of food we ate!
We were fortunate to team up with a fun group of people from many states. Jessica was fun, engaging and informative. Loved the selection of restaurants!
This three hour food walking tour with Rebecca was a highlight of my Savannah visit. The food and beverage choices were nicely spaced and planned. The restaurants were located in the historic area but a bit off beat and each one had an interesting story.
This was a great walking tour of the city. Not too much, not too little. The food was amazing and very plentiful, quite unusual for a food tour. Rebecca was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. I would highly recommend this tour.
Rebecca was delightful and very knowledgeable about Savannah and the cuisine of the area and how it ties into the history of Savannah. All of the courses were delicious and of a generous quantity, definitely satisfied after the tour. I would return to any of the featured restaurants for a meal.
Wonderful food tour. Plenty of food was served and a bit of history was provided as well.
We had a wonderful tour guide, Bridget, who gave us a real understanding of the tastes and sights of Savannah. She was terrific. By the way, she took a selfie of us, which we looked forward to, but never received. If possible, could you ask her to re-send that picture to us?
Loved it. Bridget was very personable and made the tour fun.
We had Bridget she was knowledgeable and fun. The food was good and walk was nice with some history. We had some Northerns that had had grits or fried green tomatoes so it was fun hearing their thoughts on southern cuisine

An awesome way to find out about some great restaurants and eateries around town from someone who really knows the city well. Jessica did a great job and was very engaging and knowledgeable about the city. Highly recommend this tour!

Jessica was fantastic and her food choices and stops along the way were perfect. She was attentive, informative and just a pleasure to spend our day with. The time went by so fast we were sad when it ended. 10 out of 10 in all categories.
Rose was our guide on the Food Tour. She was very knowledgeable about the city and history of Savannah. She was very personable and friendly.
Rose was a wonderful guide. Our food stops were great. We liked how our stops were not long distances apart. It was real nice there were only four guests.

Definitely go hungry! Wear comfortable walking shoes. Our tour guide Rose, was charming and was full of great information about Savannah!

Lots of great Savannah information and history Restaurants and food choices were great. Highly recommend
We had a great food and history tour with Michael as our guide. Although relatively new to Savannah, you could tell he really loves his new home and seemed very passionate about its past and current history. The food on this tour really highlighted the best flavors of southern cuisine. We also got a lot of wonderful restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah.
We had a wonderful food tour with Jessica and Vanessa. The food was great and went to places I would have never thought of. Enjoyed the history, and we were even given some tips of other places to go and see. They were precessional and so much fun! Highly recommend.
Cathy as our guide is what added the special touch to this whole experience. Food of course was great but it’s her knowledge and love of all history that made our lunch tour so robust , and just a whole lot of fun!
Fun mix of walking history tour and food. The food was delicious. Our guide Bridget was excellent. We had a great time and would recommend this tour.
All 4 of us girls had a fabulous time on this True South Lunch Tour, tasting all the wonderful delectable delights. Beignets, Shrimp & Grits, She Crab Soup and Fried Green Tomatoes, all were delicious! The walking tour around Savannah was very informative. This town has a lot of very interesting history. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks to Jessica, she was a terrific tour guide.
