Savannah Historic District
Meet your small group in Savannah's beautiful Historic Downtown to begin your savory and sweet journey through the flavors of this lowcountry city. Learn about Savannah's long and colorful history, grand architecture and easygoing way of life from your informative local guide as you make your way through the city's four original squares and along its scenic waterfront. Along your route, visit several different restaurants and food shops to sample a wide array of local specialties such as shrimp and grits, pork belly donut slides, Scottish and English cuisine (a nod to our city's founders) and one-of-a-kind honey. (Tastings subject to change without notice). Establishments you visit may include Savannah Bee Company, Molly MacPherson's Scottish Pub, 22 Square Restaurant, and Pie Society. A non-alcoholic beverage sampling is included, and you can purchase additional alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (own expense) if you wish.

The tour guide had the wrong time in His calendar so he did not show up. So disappointed in Viator. Will not book again.

Thank you for your thoughts. This is obviously inexcusable. We have a number of fail-safes to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen and we are looking into what occurred here. Suffice it to say that this is the only time this has happened in the thousands of tours we offer a year and we will make sure it does not happen again.

First the good, the tour guide did a great job! He was very entertaining and gave us allot of informative information. I did not like the lack of food or the food choices. This was a Good Cultural and Walking Tour. It was not a good food tour. The food portions were either tiny, or not good. It was hilarious that at one of the supposed restaurant stops, the tour guide told us the restaurant had closed down and proceeded to pull these Nasty Azz Fried Green Tomato Biscuits out of his backpack for us to eat. It was hilarious!! This really happened! The dessert was a dab of honey!! LOL!! Again, I actually really enjoyed the tour. The food was again either terrible or such a small portion it was not worth the money. I would have rated the tour lower, but again I enjoyed the walk and the tour guide. Save your money and skip this tour if you are looking for a great food experience.

Thank you for your feedback! To be clear for those potential guests reading this review, the food includes a small bowl of Savannah's best Shrimp'n'Grits, a cup of life-changing She-Crab Soup, a full southern-southern Fried Green Tomato & Pimento Cheese biscuit, a fun and surprising-British-Savannah connection in the form of Sausage Roll (often a guest favorite), an award-winning Empanada (nod to the Spanish heritage in the area), and "dessert" was not a "dab" of honey, but a selection of unique monofloral honey, honeycomb, cheese, and a Savannah Taste Experience exclusive cookie. Thanks again for the chance to address your anonymous review.
