It was enjoyable, liked...

Richard_D, Apr 2024

It was enjoyable, liked hearing the history. Pirate place was disappointing and not worth the stop, no place to sit and drink was in plastic cup.

Fun walking drinking tour

Deanna_H, Mar 2024

Lots of history and loved the places we visited. Food was excellent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

tasty, educational, and fun!

Jenna_O, Mar 2024

The Savannah Bee Company was our favorite spot! Loved the flight of meade and learning about it. Everything was great.

First time in Savannah

Nora_B, Dec 2023

We learned a lot I’ve never heard of Moderna wine, but I really enjoyed the story she told we never had Meade wine and we enjoyed the tasting. Jazz’d was a super cool place to visit

Fun and informative. Bonnie’s has clearly spent. Lot of time studying up for her tours

Michael_B, Oct 2023

Bonnie gave us great quirky historic information about people who built savannah We got to see some places we wouldn’t have known about off the beaten track.

Great for history lovers!

Melanie_Z, Jul 2023

This trip is great for the history lover! Bonnie takes you to local establishment and then walks you through the history of the drink you are enjoying. She shares great stories of how the drink came to be and relates it directly to the history of the region. During the waking portion.of our tour, she shared stories about the creation of Savannah and the history of each square. The drinks were good, the stories were better. It was a truly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Alisa_M, Apr 2023

We had a great tour with Bonnie, she was fun and informative, fun cocktails, interesting history, this tour is a must in Savannah!

Not Worth the Price!!!

Shannon_B, Jan 2023

This tour was not worth $95 per person. The tour is advertised as having drinks, light fare and history yet the only food served is a small cheese plate at the first stop. Other than this, you receive 4 drinks and a “lecture” on the drinks & the areas history. The tour guide (Bonnie) is knowledgeable but not engaging or interactive. The majority of the tour feels like you are in a classroom with no interaction or liveliness. Definitely no laughs! Having taken food/pub tours in Savannah before, we were shocked how disorganized this one was. 2 of the 4 bars we were taken too did not have a table ready for us and we basically stood in the corner while Bonnie grabbed one drink for us from the bar. Then she shuttled us outside to a park bench to continue the class. The stories were not told with much flare and the entire group on the tour felt very dissatisfied (if not a bit bored) by the end. When we wanted to purchase a drink to take “on the road” she discouraged us and hurried us out of the bar so we could not make a purchase. I would recommend taking the “Savannah Flavors Southern Food, Pub Crawl/History Combo Tour” at $45 a person. This tour was much better and included appetizers at every stop, great drinks and a much more comprehensive history discussion of the many landmarks of Savannah. And was fun! The restaurants/pubs on this tour also had a table ready and waiting at every stop, great food, and even the owner would make sure to stop over to say hello and talk to our group! You definitely won’t need dinner if you take that tour. We were all quite hangry, however, at the end of this one!

Not What I Expected

Dawn_C, Jan 2023

Very expensive tour for what you get. We thought the tour included food along with a cocktail at each location. Food at only one bar.

Historic tour of Savannah and Alcohol.

Janine_K, Jan 2023

This was an amazing tour!! Bonnie was hands down one of the most knowledgeable & passionate tour guys we have ever had! She knows her stuff! My husband Jack & I thoroughly enjoyed our evening! We love history! Alcohol, with the relationship to our history, be ready to pack a punch!

This is a must!

Ben_M, Sep 2022

Bonnie is extremely knowledgeable and approachable when questions arose. The experience was better than expected, and I say this is a must for anyone who is visiting for the first time. I'm sure you would learn something new about Savannah, even if you're familiar with the area. The food and drinks were fantastic as well.

Bonnie was a fantastic...

Coleman_H, Jul 2022

Bonnie was a fantastic tour guide. An unexpected rain storm hit right as we were meeting, so she made adjustments to make it better for us and it was perfect. She was funny and knowledgeable about Savannah history. Cheers to Bonnie!

Bonnie was amazing

Shawn_W, Jul 2022

The history and knowledge Bonnie gave us was awesome!!! Also the drinks were very good as well!! 2 thumbs up!

Great tour even if a member of your party doesn’t drink alcohol!

Theodore_K, Jul 2022

Our guide Bonnie was very personable and insightful. The food and drinks were delicious and they were able to accommodate one of us non-drinkers. Learning about Mead and the Mint Julep was very interesting.

Historical Fun!

Steven_B, Apr 2022

My wife and I had wonderful time with Bonnie! Bonnie was very knowledgeable. She kept drinks in our hand and the group moving. We met some new friends that we hung with after and that we’ll hang with at some point this weekend, and after. Thanks
