| We had the tour on a Saturday when the farmers market was in session. The information given about the history of the local foods and then the tour of the market that followed was a perfect fit. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys food. |

| This was a great, well-rounded tour of Charleston's culinary aspects. While it was not so much centered on visiting restaurants, we did go to a number of cafes, bakeries, and shops that highlighted southern food. Our tour guide, Clara, was nice, informative, and helpful. My friend and I really enjoyed seeing different parts of the city, learning the background behind Southern cuisine, and hearing how many Charleston restaurants got their starts. I had a wonderful time! |

| While on our honeymoon in Charleston, My wife and I decided to check out some local area tours. This culinary tour was one of our favorites. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The history behind each location was fascinating and the tasting selections were well diversified...and yummy :) We discovered some lesser known culinary treasures that we will be sure to visit again on our next trip to Charleston. Highly recommended. |

| Susan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and just a delight to be around. We took this tour on Saturday and since the Farmer's Market was open, this was where we spent the majority of our time. We loved the fresh produce, locally produced canned goods, and especially the shrimp and grits. But the very best was the just-made praline from the candy store. We ended up going back to the market to purchase some produce and jam to eat during our stay. Susan suggested several restaurants to eat at and we tried Jestine's. It was a wonderful meal from a local restaurant and we ate way too much, but it was too good to leave on the plate. Overall, if you want some history along with some really good food, this is the tour to take. I'd recommend it to everyone. Just be sure to wear your walking shoes! |

| My friends and I decided to take this tour as a part of our Fall Break vacation. We enjoyed the food and the guide. Taking the tour not only allowed us to taste all of the flavors of Charleston, but it also helped us to see the city. There were many places that we didn't know existed and by taking this tour we got to see lots of new streets, shopping venues, and areas of the city that I'm not sure we would have found without this tour. I would throughly recommend it to anyone who is considering it. |

| The tour guide was nice and informative. She talked about the local food and its history as well as a bit of history of the area. The walk was lesiurely and took us to various eateries & shops in the "historic" Charleston area. This is a good tour for those who are unfamiliar to "the South" and its cuisine. This was the first time I tried Grits and a few other "Southern" cuisine foods. Good tour. |

| We did enjoy our tour with Sara who was very knowledgeable about the local history and food of Charleston. I would recommend that a printed listed of the establishments where we were visiting would be nice. The length of time at each was good and the tastes were very nice. Sara provided a wonderful background to each tasting. It was a history lesson on the area and food. We loved the grits which was a wonderful introduction to the tour.
We did care for 2 sweet shops and would say another food could be substitued for one of these. At the Corner Kitchen the Bene wafers were tasty but left a little to be desired. We were please with all the others and did go back to the Dixie Bakery to purchase grits and also bought candy from the Belgian shop.
We loved the BBQ and Collards. What a great way to end our tour with it and being on King street. |

| I thought it would be more restaurant oriented, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The history was very interesting and the food was delicious. |
