Sydney was a knowledgeable, personable and professional guide who brought the tour to life. Food stops were excellent, food was fresh, flavorful and just the right portions that at the end of the tour left you satisfied without feeling stuffed. I’d recommend purchasing the adult beverage add-on which was a good value and enhancement to the tour

We had some close friends come down to visit for a few days and we’re looking for a fun few hours with good food and some history. The tour was great, and Robin made the trip extra fun with plenty of laughs, terrific guidance and warm company. Her intimate knowledge of the area and recommendations for the Charleston experience were a bonus. Highly recommended!
