Great experience! - This tour was great! The hurricane left parts of Savannah without power leaving some restaurants closed - this did not phase our tour guide Cathy and the Flavors Food Tour staff. We pivoted and went to different restaurants, which were great! Highly recommend!!!

Awesome Food Tour - Cathy was very knowledgeable about Savannah. Her stories were not from Wikipedia but from actual facts that she researched. I loved listening to her explaining about how Savannah was started and the little facts that happened as Savannah grew. The food was amazing. We will definitely do a tour with her again.

Good value for money - Great time! I liked the restaurants that were chosen and we felt like it was a good representation of food in the region and was high quality. The guide spoke about history and other features of the city in between restaurants so we felt like it was good value for money. We’d do it again!

A Guaranteed Great Time - What an unbelievable tour. My wife and I were expecting really good food but received GREAT food. By the end of the tour we were both full. We were not expecting so much great history about Savannah. Our guide Cathy, a former history teacher, really shared her love of Savannah and interacted with everyone on the tour. This is a great food and history tour which we can not recommend enough. Next time we will be doing the dinner tour!

A Fun Afternoon - My husband and I just finished a wonderful food tour with Flavor Foods in Savannah. We started with beignets that were, honestly, better than any you'd get in Savannah. Then, we had shrimp and grits, pralines, she-crab soup, and ended with ice cream! YUM! In between the various "stops" our guide, Pam, gave us a brief history of Savannah as well as a glimpse into the history of specific foods and why these dishes are traditional "low country" foods. We'll definitely book the dinner tour the next time we come to Savannah.

Great experience - Such a fun tour - each restaurant offered unique southern dishes. Our host, Pamela, was very personable and gave us a good overview of each restaurant and square. Can’t think of a better way to start our visit.

history made fun - Excellent balance of dining and history. Our guide Kathy, a retired history teacher was the perfect choice for this tour of historic Savanah.

Do not waste your time or money - I first want to say that do not waste your time on this tour. I am sorely disappointed with the outcome of this tour, and as an avid food tour taker, this is by far the worst tour we have ever been on. Our tour guide had zero to no knowledge of the city of Savanna as she was an avid New Yorker. Due to this, she tended to stereotype the people of the South to the point where everyone who was on the tour was very taken aback by her stereotypes. The tour guide proceeded to show how unprepared she was at each restaurant. Each order was vulgar to the wait staff, and no food was ready at each restaurant. The food was underwhelming and not typical of a food tour. My final note is about the lack of professionalism on the tour. Our tour guide commented about no place, including her, but she refused to tell each place that she also needed a seat. She commented on things that “Southern do” and declined to elaborate and finish stories. Finally, she pointed out a coffee shop that happened to be run by mentally challenged people. Then proceeded to say, "They are just retarded". It was, overall, a very disappointing tour. If you have a choice about a tour, I advise you not to go on this tour. It was very frustrating and, overall, a waste of time and money.
