The experience

The route runs between Broughton Street and River Street, moving at a leisurely pace through the squares and historic neighborhoods. You'll taste at six different locations (the stops rotate seasonally, so the restaurants change depending on when you book) giving you a cross-section of what the city's foodie scene actually offers. The guide has spent years in Savannah's restaurants before moving into walking tours, so the food choices reflect real local knowledge, not a standard tourist circuit.

As you walk, you learn Savannah's long history: the wooden ships that crossed the Atlantic, the city's role as Georgia's Hostess City of the South, and the stories the squares themselves hold. The food becomes the frame for understanding how the city is laid out and how its neighborhoods connect. You're not just eating. You're moving through the place in a way that makes the geography stick.

The tour runs three hours total. Alcoholic drinks are available to order and pay for at each stop, but they're not included in the ticket price. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, the operator asks you to mention them at booking. Some restaurants have limited options, so advance notice helps them plan your stops. The tour goes ahead in all weather, so bring layers and shoes that handle wet pavement.
