Full description

Meet your local guide and small tour group in Savannah's Historic District. Meander through the tranquil, elegant squares on the district's east side, you'll learn about Savannah's southern culture and rich history as you walk past many examples of the city's elegant architecture on the 1-mile (1.6 km) walk. At each of the subsequent stops, taste bites like chicken sandwiches en papillote, fried green tomatoes, and famous ice cream. Possible locations include Broughton Common, Leopold's Ice Cream, Cha bella, and B&D Burgers on Broughton. The food and conversation add up to a tour that's both gastronomically and intellectually satisfying. Your culinary exploration of Savannah ends only a few blocks from the starting location. You'll depart with a map that makes it easy to go back to your favorites later.

This was a great experience! Julie was a fantastic guide! The pace was leisurely without being too slow. All the business owners we spoke with were very friendly. Zunzi’s was the best!! Really enjoyed not having to wait in line for Leopolds as well! Great way to spend an afternoon in Savannah!

It was so hot, but our guide kept us walking in shade into air conditioning and there was always water to drink. He told lots of history, made sure we felt comfortable with the strangers in our group, and was a great host. We could purchase/carry adult beverages at different stops and the seafood alternatives were fantastic. I mentioned one person in my group had an allergy, but showed up on the wrong day. We were welcomed in anyway and they were still able to accommodate our needs. Even during covid and unusual open/closed etc requirements, it was a fantastic tour I would do again.

Good food and our tour guide was very knowledgeable

Our tour started during a tropical storm and the first restaurant was closed for a private party. Everybody maintained a sense of humor and Thomas at Capital Bee took us in and gave us a honey tasting, which was excellent. Anne our tour guide was informative and made the best of a very wet day. My sister's and I enjoyed the food and drinks from all the restaurants.
