This three-hour walking food tour takes place in Savannah's Historic District and combines culinary and cultural experiences. The tour begins with a 45-minute walk led by a local guide through Savannah’s four original squares and along the waterfront. During this introduction, the guide shares information about the city’s history, architecture, and culture. Participants visit Ellis Square and City Market, a commercial and social center in historic downtown Savannah. There is a 15-minute stop on Historic River Street to view the cobblestone riverfront lined with former cotton warehouses and historic buildings. The route also includes brief stops at Franklin Square, which features a monument to Haitian fighters who aided U.S. independence and the First African Baptist Church, and Johnson Square, the largest and oldest square in Savannah, known for its live oaks, a monument to Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Greene, and views of City Hall. Along the way, participants sample regional dishes from six popular local eateries, including an award-winning honey store. These tastings together amount to a lunch portion. Water is provided at stops, and participants receive a map of the food tour route. The tour is limited to 12 people to maintain a small-group setting. Additional drinks and gratuities are not included. Accommodations for seafood allergies, nut allergies, pescatarian, and vegetarian diets are available, but gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options are not offered. The tour operates in all weather conditions and involves walking and standing for the full three hours.
