I was in Charleston for a conference, arrived early so signed up for their Culinary Tour. Our guide Simon was an amazing tour guide- knowledgable, pleasant and personable! I attended this tour mid-week, so our group was very intimate- 5 total people, which I preferred! Simon had wonderful suggestions for other activities, great stories and historical facts along our walk and made the tour worthy of sharing with friends. As a first timer and design enthusiast I was overly excited about seeing all the historical buildings and beautiful facades. I was thrilled they were able to accommodate my pescatarian lifestyle on such short notice. Of the 4 restaurants we stopped at, the BBQ place (stop #3) was the only restaurant in which I only ate side dishes- they gave me an decent serving of potato salad and broccoli, but honestly at that point I was already starting to fill up so not a huge deal for me…and they were actually very delicious lol! While our first stop was my favorite for ambience and interior design (I won’t spoil too much!), my fave was the Oyster House! While no actual oysters were served for our tour, the sampler platter of the seafood hush puppies, shrimp & grits and chowder were ohhhh so yummy! Overall, the food was delish at all the restaurants, definitely did not disappoint! I've already shared this company with friends (recommending Simon of course!) and can't wait to go back with my boyfriend! A few extra traveler tips: ✅ Early October weather was very pleasant, but I still brought a small umbrella just in case! ✅ Walking shoes are a must, the streets are uneven in many areas. ✅ You can always buy more food or alcoholic beverages off the menu- the 2 separate tipping lines (for host AND chef) on the receipt was new to me. ✅ Always tip your tour guides! 💕

Jessi was an excellent guide and the food was amazing. Plenty of food and sights to see with only a moderate amount of walking. Great for all ages.

Our tour guide’s name was John, and he was fantastic! There was plenty of food, and it was all delicious. We learned some history, found out about new restaurants to try, and met some lovely people! We would definitely return for some of their other tours, and bring our friends!
