I’ve done 3 food tours in the past 3 years and this one was by far the best! Perry and Nathan were amazing guides. Both are very knowledgeable and fun! This tour is a hybrid of a Charleston history tour and great food! AND the portion sizes provided at each participating restaurant were impressive! I was completely stuffed. If you are in the Charleston area, this tour is definitely worth doing!

It was not about the food more about history of Charleston. The food was not good, 2 good meals and ice cream for dessert would have been good.

Hi Deborah, thank you for sharing your feedback. Our Charleston food tour is designed to highlight both the city’s rich culinary scene and its fascinating history, offering guests a well-rounded experience. While many of our guests enjoy the balance of food and storytelling, we understand that preferences can vary. Our carefully curated tastings showcase some of Charleston’s signature flavors, and we appreciate your thoughts on the selection. We aim to provide a variety of dishes that reflect the local culture, and we’re always looking for ways to refine the experience. Many of our guests love the mix of savory and sweet bites, but we’ll certainly take your input into account. We hope you still enjoyed exploring Charleston with us, and if you ever decide to join another one of our tours, we’d love the opportunity to offer you a food experience that better aligns with your expectations.

This was a wonderful mix of tasty food and current and historical information about Charleston. Perry was an excellent guide! He was personable, friendly and very knowledgeable. The places he took us to were quaint and friendly. Some of them we would have never found on our own, but glad we did!
