Savannah Taste Experience Food Tour is something you need to find time to do while visiting. Hopefully you will get Brenden as your tour guide. He has lots of insights, good advise and will take you to several different varieties of food and drink with history lessons in between. This is a must and I would definitely do this tour again as the establishments switch up from time to time. Be sure to bring your walking shoes, you won't gain a pound at all by the time the tour is over.
