What To Expect

Charleston

After meeting your foodie guide at the first restaurant location in downtown Charleston, you will begin your walking tour and visit 3-4 restaurants, where you'll sample dishes at each, and then a final stop for dessert. Each visit lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and you'll be seated to rest your legs. For most people, the amount of food served is enough for a meal. As you enjoy walking through this historical section of the city, listen to stories about Charleston's culture and cuisine from your guide, who points out landmarks along your route. This wonderful experience will end within walking distance of your starting point. *Please advise about Allergies in the ( Special Requirements section) during check out! *Dietary restrictions need to be communicated at least 24 hours in advance to be accommodated *Unfortunately we can not accommodate Vegan, Dairy Free or Soy Free diets

This was our fifth culinary tour with this group and they are always terrific. Dustin was our tour guide and he was so entertaining and very knowledgeable - I learned many new things I had not learned on other tours. I highly recommend a tour with Dustin. I wasn't as crazy about some of the restaurants we visited this time though. We didn't care for the allkigator bites at Henry's or the really far-out pizza at 1 Broad but every place else was great - Poogan's Smokehouse and amazing dessert samples at Blind Tiger. I highly recommend this tour group.

Thanks for the feedback Bennie! We love hearing from our repeat guests. Glad y'all had a good time with Dustin; he really knows his stuff. Sorry to hear you were not a big a fan of the gator and 1 Broad's offerings, but glad that Poogan's and Blind Tiger did not disappoint. Thanks again and look forward to next time!

Had expected more stops and variety of foods. At Eli's, we had Chicken and waffles and pancakes. And shrimp and grits I think were there. Nothing was so delicious I wanted to go back. The next one had pork sliders, pimento cheese balls and maybe something else. Again, nothing out standing. Ended with big slice of dark chocolate cake, which I am not a fan of dark chocolate. We both had a couple bites of one piece and left the other. Would have liked a choice for the last desert.

Thanks for the review Kenneth. All of our culinary tours visit 4 restaurants and sample 8-10 courses. We are sorry to hear that this did not meet your expectations and that the offerings of traditional Charleston fare were not to your liking. We would love to host you again on another one of our less-tradtionally-oriented tours, which might be more appealing to your preferences.
