Absolutely wonderful! Don't miss it.

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!

Well Worth It
Tue, Oct 7  9:30 AM allied Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Informative tour
Wed, Oct 1  9:30 AM kmremr Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Discovering Local Food
Fri, Sep 26  2:00 PM donnawinter Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

FELT LIKE WE WERE EXPECTED TO BUY PRODUCTS
Wed, Sep 3  9:30 AM jembry Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Much of the tasting came from shops specializing in selling products such as sauces, candy, etc. We felt like we were expected to buy from these shops rather than just sampling there wares. There were only 2 or 3 restaurants on the tour, just shops. Unless you are interested in touring shops, which you can do on your own & save money in the process, we do not recommend this tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable & friendly but dressed a little too casual to be "on the job".

This was our favorite part of Charleston

Our tourguide was wonderful ( Sarah Cothran). The food was great and the history we learned along the way was very interesting. We will do it again. It gave us a chance to sample things we wouldn't have had time to fit into the schedule otherwise.

Excellent Experience
Fri, Jul 18  2:00 PM edoc30 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We had never been to Charleston and not only did we get to sample some excellent southern cooking, we also got to see the city and get dining recommendations. It was a lot of fun and a lot of walking. It doesn't seem like it at first because of all of the stops - but definitely wear comfortable shoes. Don't eat too much before because the samples are very filling.

Pleasant stroll nice interaction
Sat, Jul 12  9:30 AM webers123 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Was an ok tour, fun. Information was scanty most of the tasting was at the farmers market on Saturday that was available to the public at large. Leader did by some fruit and other foods that were good not necessarily low country cuisine. Our guide was interesting and had a lot of historical information. Tho since scampi has been around since the turn of the century, I doubt we actually met the wife of the creator. LOL
