| Our personable guide, Caleb, did an excellent and engaging presentation of combining history and local food. His delightful storytelling mixed well with his contemporary knowledge of culinary trends. |

| I highly recommend the food tour! The guide is fantastic and full of great information, both in history and cuisine. The farmer's market is a rare thing that tourists experience and is not to be missed... and you'll never experience it the right way walking through it on your own (unless you're with an experienced a local). I recommend eating a small bite beforehand... I've been on the tour twice: the first time, I was absolutely stuffed afterward, the second, I headed straight to Tristan for a meal. So grab a bite beforehand so you can savor the flavors of the peaches and jams and treats, without wanting to stuff them down because you're starving. Overall, a fantastic tour and the yummiest way to experience Charleston history! |

| Most of the tour was basically a tour of the farmers market. I thought it was advertised as being much more comprehensive then it actually was. We would not do this tour again. |

| I really enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent. We went thru the Farmers Market and tasted/smelled many different items, mainly local to the area. (I had grits I actually liked!!) Then to a candy store for another round of tasting YUM.. then to a 'cooks' store for another tasting. It was a lot of walking which was fine for me but an older person would have had a hard time. My only complaint was that I thought we were going to "shops/or producers' to see how things were made and that wasn't really what it was,,ie.. tour not exactly as described perhaps.. But, like I said, the guide was really good and interesting and knowledgeable and it was fun. I liked the farmers market the best. I would recommend.. |

| This tour provided an overview of the culinary history and culture of the lowcountry. I was familiar with some of the information as my husband is a native of the lowcountry and I am a native South Carolinian who has taught SC history. Information was presented in an enjoyable manner, the sites we visited were well selected. I would recommend this tour to others and I would like to take another Carolina Food Pros tour next time I am in the Charleston area. |

| The guide was very friendly, informed, and thorough. The stops exposed us to aspects of Charleston cuisine that we would not have known without a guide. The foods we tasted were diverse and interesting. We enjoyed walking around the city.
This was one of the highlights of our visit to Charleston. |

| Very informative on the local foods, their history, and where you could find them at the local restaurants. Tasted many things I would never have tried on my own....and actually liked some of them.
I expected to visit restaurants or bakeries and watch the foods being prepared (and hopefully receive samples). That is not what this tour is. We spent the majority of time at the farmers market. We also visited a tea shoppe and a chocolatier. While we were skeptical at the beginning, we did enjoy the activity.
Wear comfortable shoes, you walk quite a distance. |
