Georgette was just delightful. She was friendly and very informative. She explained the history of the locations and made it very interesting. The food portions were much more than just samples. We were stuffed by the end!

The portions were thoughtfully sized, and the short strolls between local restaurants tended to whet our appetites for the next sample. The tour leader was entertaining and knowledgeable. It was a memorable outing! Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have had a better time! Our tour guide, Tami, was super knowledgeable and friendly. The museums and art were something to remember. As for the food, there was nothing we didn't enjoy. The cocktail package was an added bonus! Definitely found some new local favorites to visit when we come back, and can't wait to see what other routes this tour group adds! Thank you!!

You haven’t truly experienced all Ocean Springs has to offer until you’ve done this food tour. With the tour I booked, I got SIX food stops. This included the tour guide walking us through the rich history of OS and the history of the restaurants! She also explained where some of the ingredients in our food were sourced from! 10/10 recommended this tour whether you’re an out of towner or local!

What a informative and wonderful food tour. Not only did we have samples of local flavors but it was filled with local history and fun facts. Plus we had learned a treasure trove of places to try later.

We had a great time with our tour guide, Tami, and some old and new friends. A few hours around Ocean Springs, trying great food. Portions were big and varied. Some savory and some sweet. We’ve been in Ocean Springs for a while, but still saw a few spots we’ve never been to and learned some new trivia. It would be fun for an OS native or a visitor. Thanks - we had a blast!

My daughter and I did a tour with Savor the Coast, and we absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic, and we really enjoyed learning about the history of Ocean Springs along the way. We loved getting small tastings from restaurants and dishes we probably never would’ve tried on our own, but now love!

This was our first food tour ever. We expected a tour of restaurants with samples, but we did not expect the special stops at shops and boutiques along the way! That, along with the tidbits of knowledge about the town, its history, and its people, made the afternoon so much fun! We could not have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting OS!
