Our food tour covers around 3 miles in the historic Savannah downtown, which has plenty of shade and various places to sit and rest. Also keep in mind we will be resting inside at restaurants. However, this is a walking tour and we will have several moments of standing at length and walking in the 3 1/2 hour tour.
The charm and beauty of this city is accessible to all, but this tour provides an excellent overview and kick off to your visit. If you’re in town for a short time, this tour can be your “wham, bam thank you ma’am” of sorts so you can see Savannah, learn its history and experience local cuisine. If you are visiting the city for a longer vacation this can set you up for a nice snapshot of Savannah to provide an understanding of “what it’s all about” plus great restaurants to return to for larger meals.
Most guests love the concept of dining at multiple restaurants for a SNAP SHOT of the local foods and drink in the course of a few hours. We think you will fully appreciate Savannah by traveling with an entertaining, knowledgeable tour guide who can share with you the culturally rich and historically-drenched areas in town. Plus, on top of learning the fun history you will savor a variety of interesting, taste-bud pleasing local beverage and cuisine.
Didn’t your mom warn you about spoiling your appetite? We don’t recommend eating anything immediately before your tour, as food and drink on the tour is enough for most to feel full afterward. However, keep in mind this is NOT a buffet tour meant to stuff you to your eyeballs. This foodie tour adventure features local cuisine and drink, but also historical and cultural information in between restaurant stops. Our goal is to feed your mind as well as your belly.

ELDERLY GUESTS:
We invite the whole family to experience our cuisine-centered tours. However guests should note that our Savannah Food Tours are between 3-3 1/2 hours and feature a lot of walking. Guests should be comfortable walking about 3 miles over uneven streets, walking a flight of stairs and strolling up/down hills. Unfortunately on this tour crutches, wheelchairs or walkers are not logistically possible.
Our food tour tasting locations are a mixture of relaxed seating at partner restaurants and tastings that are shorter and faster paced which have no designated seating for each guest. This allows us to cover as much as possible plus add in the historical and cultural aspects of the island.
CHILDREN ON TOUR:
The tour company owner has two young kids herself and is fully aware what traveling with young ones is like! We offer tickets at a special price for children (and kids 2 and under are free) so families are definitely welcome on tour. However, keep in mind some children/teens have a limited attention span and may not enjoy the historical and cultural aspects that are a part of our tour offerings (especially the standing/walking involved across a multi hour tour), but we ultimately leave it up to the parents to decide if our tours are right for them. There is space in the restaurants for a collapsible stroller (we suggest going with the umbrella stroller style to ensure comfort in tight spaces).
NOTE: alcohol will be consumed on tour. Must be 21+ to drink and non-alcohol subs will be available
Tour pricing is in USD$.
We love money but cash is not accepted. Advance ticket purchase is required since most tours sell out in advance and space is limited.
We do not start and end at the same location, however they are walking distance from each other. You can contact us at 787-964-2447 for more details or write to us at savannah@flavorsfoodtours.com for more inquiries.
