Susan was a wonderful guide. She was excited about Charleston, gave some great insight into history and current traditions of Charleston. I enjoyed listening to her and following her around town. The food we tested was spectacular. |

This was a great tour - well paced, packed with information, and great tastings. Brooke was the perfect hostess for your great city. I would even do this one again! |

Informative and personable tour guide. Would never have seen the variety of restaurants if I had not taken this tour. Tour gives a nice sampling of different elements of low country food. Other people on tour were very congenial, great inerraction with group members. Out of our group of 11, 8 people were from Chicago (we did not know each other previously) and 3 were from Alabama. The Chicagoans enjoyed the Alabamans' insight to the food we were tasting. What better way to see the way the people of a city live than by tasting the foods that are unique to their culture!!!! |

My wife and I have an interest in food and were looking for new experiences. We saw the Savor the Flavors tour online and it seemed to be worth a try, especially after reading some reviews from attendees. We were pleasantly surprised not only in the way we were greeted when we checked in, but also with our guide Cathy. She was recommeded by others on the tour so we requested her and were glad we did. Cathy was very informative about the history of Charleston and the origins of many of the dishes. She obviously had a great relationship wtith those at the various establishments we visited. Though the overall amount of food sampled at any one place is just a "snack", by the time we were finished we did not need lunch. Though the tour is 2 1/2 hours, it is done at a leisurely pace and is all covered within a 5 - 6 block area.
Definitely would recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in food and ask for Cathy's group. |

The tour was definitely fun and we all LOVED going to the Dixie Bake Shop and Nick's BBQ was fantastic as well. The tasting at the cookbook shop was okay and I was very happy to be shown the spice shop as many of us returned the next day to buy things that we HAD to have but didn't really fall in with a "tasting" tour, in my opinion.
The tour guide, while quite knowledgeable about both Charleston and the food industry/cooking, was a bit stiff and didn't really ooze the southern charm and vivacity that was needed to keep this tour exciting. |

I ran across this tour while searching for a haunted jail tour and I am so glad that I did. This tour was the perfect fit to a Saturday morning. The restaurant, sweet shop, and tea/spice shops were a fantastic combination. The tour guide gave us great recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner stops. The pace was perfect; we never felt rushed and were given ample time to ask questions and shop around in the shops. Highly recommend this tour! |
