I may be generous with 3 stars, but the food was above average to good. The tour itself--the reason you go with a guide--I'd rate 1 or 2 stars. We were supposed to be a very large group of 21, but had 6 no-shows. We started a bit late because of that, but finished nearly an hour late (4 hours vs. the advertised 3). That would have been OK if our quirky guide, Christina, was taking the time to talk about the history of the local cuisine, the details about the food we were eating or the places we were eating it, but we got none of that. At one place our food was waiting for us so we had no-longer-hot pork on mashed potatoes. The name of the tour includes pub crawl, but the beverages were NOT included in the tour. We've been on many food tours in the US and abroad, and I can say with confidence you should skip this particular one. read more

My friend and I had a great tour with Christina on Saturday. It was a great way to see the city and try some dishes while getting a history lesson as well! read more

What a great way to learn a little more about Savannah's history. Michael, our guide, weaved stories together to better understand the history, food and architecture of Savannah's beginnings. The food stops along the way were prepared for our group, and Michael took care of anyone with food allergies. We started at The Public for shrimp & grits then onto SixPence for a drink, then onto Bellfurds for baked oysters, fried green tomatoes and she-crab soup (with delicious bread). The last stop was Savanah's candy store for a taste of pralines and a scoop of ice cream or gelato. It was a well-planned food tour which "foodies" or any visitor would enjoy read more

Parents with 2 adult children. We all had a great time. Christina was a fabulous guide. She was entertaining. The bars were great. The drinks were great (but be warned the food is included in the price but the beverages besides water are not). The food bites were great. Filling but not overstuffed by the end of the tour. Well worth the time and the cost. read more

The worst food tour. Christine the guide seemed to be on autopilot and did not engage with guests at all during the restaurant /eating portion. She clearly knows staff at the restaurants she chose and opted to socialize with them rather than offer any historical info to the paying guests. The food choices were nothing special. read more

As first timers in Savannah we booked this food tour to get to know more about the local food culture and history, and we got that and more! Our tour guide Christina was very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly with everyone. We had a total of 6 stops with plenty of opportunities for restrooms and drinks. It was a great way to experience the city and meet other first-timers as well! Highly recommend! read more

We did the Southern Flavors Food tour with Christina and had a great time! We loved that Christina was a local who had great knowledge about Savannah. The food was all very tasty and we left stuffed! Good variety and had a hard time picking our favorite. The three hour tour was just long enough and would absolutely recommend. read more

When traveling, I find food tours a fun way to explore a city, learn about its history and try local flavors. Subsequently, during a recent trip to Savannah I signed up for the Southern Flavors Savannah food tour. This tour had many different options for days & times for the tour and had relatively small tour group sizes, which is always appealing! Our tour guide, Maddy, was fun and knowledgeable. She share information with us about the history of Savannah and tailored her talk to our interest. She was accommodating and did not rush us at any point, allowing us to sit and socialize at the different establishments. The reason I gave the tour 3 stars is because the food served at some establishments was underwhelming. Some of the bites included shrimp & grits and bruschetta & champagne while at other restaurants we were given a dollop of humus and some tortilla chips. What makes the activity a success is a great tour guide and group of tourists. We were fortunate that Maddy was great and our tour group was awesome! I had a fun time at the Southern Flavors Savannah food tour and would do it again. read more

My cousins and I did the dessert tour provided by Southern Flavors Savannah and had a great time! 6 dessert stops and each one provided a full dessert serving, so come hungry and pace yourself. Bringing leftovers was highly encouraged. My favorite stop was Paula Dean restaurant serving peach cobbler but the Tondees Tavern cheesecake in mason jar was a close second. Excellent host/owner in Cricket. She was friendly and fun, sharing knowledge, history, and tips along the way. read more

Really good tour, highly recommend!!. You walk about a mile total but it feels like so much more because of the amount of different places you go and things you see. The guides are very informative and helpful and it's a good way to explore different restaurants you may not have thought about or known of. Food was really good at each spot and you get a really good portion. I was completely full by the end and I even skipped breakfast! read more

It was our first time in Savannah and booked this tour so we could get some history, some exercise and taste different food and drink. Christina, our Guide, was not only knowledgeable but funny. Need to wear walking shoes for sure and highly recommend! read more

We had a great time on this tour with guide Patrick. We started from Tondee's tavern with the following stops( a food item was included at each one and alcohol paid on your own) 1)Dubs pub : pretzels, fried pita, pimento cheese, and Patrick recommended the Blackberry agave smash cocktail. 2)Tondees tavern : shrimp and grits 3)Namaste: chicken tikka Marsala 4)Peach cobbler factory 5)Your pie: Cheese and Alfredo pizza 6)PS tavern- bbq sliders It was a great selection of food and very filling. We felt the price was very reasonable. Patrick was fantastic and full of interesting history, ghost stories, riddles, and good humor. We were very happy and highly recommend the tour. read more

Be prepared: this tour is not for foodies. The guide delivers interesting historical information but in such a way that doesn't allow for questions about anything. There is no information about the food such as preparation or ingredients; and I'm pretty certain no chefs are involved in the preparation of the food. The servings are uncharacteristically small for a food tour and frankly, not very good. I asked our guide/owner what the criteria was for choosing restaurants for the tour: "they have to be open 7 days a week." The tour was interesting because the other guests were charming, friendly, funny and fun. We did learn a bit about Savannah but most importantly we learned which restaurants to avoid..... the 6 on the tour. read more

She was informative, entertaining and is a great ambassador of her city. We will definitely recommend this tour to all our friends and family!! read more

Our pre-teen even loved it! Thank you for an amazing first night in this beautiful city for the whole family! read more

Aubrey was the worst and most self-absorbed two were guide I have ever encountered. His skewed views of things are not geared toward visitors, they are geared toward people who want to get drunk while they are visiting Savannah. I'm not sure if he is capable of enunciating words or not, but he makes no effort to speak to his audience in a way that you can hear him or understand him. The primary emphasis service tour seem to be to begin with, explaining how lazy he is, and they are after explaining how much he likes alcoholic beverages. Because of his lack of speaking skills, I'm lucky if I was able to understand 20% of what he said. The tour itself was advertised as a "foodie tour". Some of the food items on the tour were quite good, but the portions offered were minuscule. The entire tour did not amount to a meal. Some of the Food items were nothing special, you can get sliders in lots of American restaurants and pubs throughout the United States, and these were nothing special. They should not even to appear on a "foodie tour". We signed up for the tour expecting Southern cuisine, specific to Savannah, and based on other food tour reviews, we expected to be well fed which we were not. We were ready to go purchase a meal immediately at the end of the tour. On top of everything, since tourism is Savannah's #1 industry,I don't think a tour guide should be bad mouthing tourists, cruise ship passengers, and local celebrity Paula Deen as "not one of us". He actually suggests that you not eat at her restaurants, totally inap. In summary, the historical tour sucked, the quantity of food was minuscule, the food was not representative of Savannah in particular, and I now know way too much about Aubrey's personal life. The five star review I see here was probably written by Aubrey himself, one of his friends, or was a paid endorsement. Don't bother with this tour, it's a ripoff. read more

Aubrey did a great job of mixing Savannah history and tasty snacks. Our tour was 2-3 hours, six hole- in-the wall spots, and six wonderful tastes. I'm a "foodie" who partook of two $100 per person dinners on our Savannah swing, and thoroughly enjoyed our tour and bistro food. The overall experience was excellent. All the businesses were locally owned and used locally sourced foods. We started with shrimp and grits at Tondee's Tavern. The shrimp were superb; the grits a bit salty but rich and smooth. We learned about the history of Savannah, which was named by the native Americans prior to the arrival of the English in the early 18th century. Next we had fired cocktail crab claws at the Bayou Cafe. Again, a very nice taste and a hot sauce concocted by the owner from vegetables he grew in his garden. Next, the highlight (for me) a simple rustic tomato bruschetta at Tandem. We had a glass of Prosecco, here. Next was a pulled pork slider at PS that was a silky smooth, sweet pork mess with pickle on a toasted roll. I've had a lot of Southern barbecue and this was in the top echelon. Add a beer here and enjoy. Especially if you are a GB Packers fan on Sundays. Time for a dessert at Below Zero-a fried Oreo that our guide Aubrey characterized as a stuffed funnel cake. I don't think I would have picked this from a dessert menu but found it embarrassingly decadent. But wait, there's more. A cheese course at Dubs. Homemade pimento cheese, homemade beer cheese with pita points and homemade soft pretzel nuggets. A great end to a great tour Not to be remiss, the time between the stops was probably even more fun because Aubrey discussed the history and architecture of Savannah. Overall, five stars read more

Savannah Walking Dessert Tour with Rudy! First stop, Specialty cheesecake at Tondee's Tavern. We each tried a different flavor: carrot cake for Lynn, German chocolate for Tom, pecan pie for me. A yummy start! Second stop, Tandem Coffee and Spirits at the East Bay Inn for a vanilla coffee shot and homemade coffee cake (made by the owner of the cafe). Our spectacular guide Rudy entertained us throughout the tour with stories, historical facts, and theories about unsolved mysteries. A refreshing third stop at Hokulia Shave Ice. Horchata for me, cherry cola for Lynn, li hing mui for Tom. Fourth stop, PS Tavern treated us to sweet, soft pretzel bites. We also had pickle shots too. Dessert #5, a favorite of ours, baklava from the Olympia Cafe! Our final stop was at Dub's Public House for house made pimento cheese topped with Dub's bacon served with pita chips and mini dill pickles. Not exactly dessert, but I wasn't complaining! Thanks Rudy! read more

I've been on several tours in Savannah and this has been by far my favorite! The food was delicious, the tour was informative and interesting, and our tour guide was amazing! Patrick made the whole tour 10x better. He was sweet and funny and took the time to personally connect with each member of our party. I would absolutely do this tour again! read more

We had an amazing food tour with Ro!! He was very knowledgeable about the history and food. Wonderful experience

We had an amazing time on the Haunted Pub Crawl with Patrick. We made a total of 6 stops and heard plenty of well delivered stories in our time with him. The drink recommendations, stories, and company were excellent. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Savannah, GA! read more

I have been trying to contact this company for three days to cancel my tour and request a refund because I am no longer able to go on my trip. I have called, emailed, Facebook messaged, and even filled out their contact form on their website. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

My wife and I did our tour with this company which was excellent and very informative. Our guide, Whiskey, was very insightful, funny, and extremely compassionate about his job. Whiskey was very easy to connect with and people felt comfortable asking any questions along the way. Whiskey added some stops along the way which isn't labeled on the tour which caused the tour to last approximately 4 hours instead of the 3 hours which was not a problem to me. It should be mentioned, Whiskey asks for permission from the group to bring you to locations not along the route before just doing it. The food in my opinion was in line with what you eat on other tours and all other food tours I have ever done, the cocktails are not included which was not a surprise. Overall, this was a fantastic tour that I highly recommend. If it is possible, I would request Whiskey as I think he is one of the best tour guides I have ever gone on a food tour with! read more

The tour was amazing, even though it was drizzling! Our guides name was Ro and he was beyond amazing! Very knowledgeable and made it fun!

If you are looking to get a true taste of Savannah's food, this is not the tour for you. The food sampled seemed like food you could get at an sports bar in America. The portion sizes were significantly smaller than any other food tour I have done. The tour itself seemed unorganized and unprofessional. Learned a little about Savannah history/ some ghost stories, but other than that our tour guide was missing for 3/4 of the tour. Never learned much about the dishes that were severed and never got any interaction with people at the restaurants. Would not recommend for the price. read more

Rowe was our tour guide! So much history, good food and drinks. Definitely worth every penny...
