The Best Food Tours
in Savannah

8 top-rated food tours in Savannah, GA. The Hostess City of the South. Updated for 2026.

Savannah's Historic District is where the city's food tour scene lives, and the walkable grid of squares makes it an ideal setting for a guided culinary stroll. Most tours start near Forsyth Park or one of the northern squares and work their way through the heart of downtown, stopping at locally owned restaurants, bakeries, and specialty shops. The tastings are generous—plan to come hungry and skip your previous meal. Guides fold in stories about Savannah's history, architecture, and food traditions as you walk, which turns the tour into more than just a series of bites. The cocktail and brewery tours are particularly well-suited to Savannah because the open container laws let you carry your drink between stops, and the craft beer scene has grown significantly in recent years. Morning tours are best during the warmer months when afternoon heat and humidity can make walking less pleasant. Weekend tours tend to fill up faster, so book ahead if your dates are fixed.

Food Tour Tips for Savannah

  • Come hungry and skip the meal before your tour. Tastings are generous and most tours include five or six stops over two to three hours.
  • Morning tours are more comfortable from May through September when Savannah's heat and humidity peak. You will be walking about a mile total.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes—the Historic District's brick sidewalks and squares are charming but uneven in spots.
  • Tell your guide about dietary restrictions when booking, not on the day of the tour. Most operators can accommodate needs with advance notice.
  • Bring cash for tips. Guides work hard and their local restaurant knowledge often leads to great dining recommendations for the rest of your trip.
