This tour blew us away. I'm not even much of a foodie, but this experience may have just made me into one. My girlfriend grew up in Charleston and she was also thrilled with how the tour really reminded her of home and was very true to the history and culture which makes Charleston such a magical place. Will go again, delicious and fun!

Allison was a great tour guide! She told us many facts about the city and about the restaurants we visited and the food we tasted. We had a lot of fun with this tour and the people we were with. Just a great day and Allison went out of her way for us!

This tour featured some excellent places with delicious food. It was well worth the money. However, it is not getting 5 stars because the tour didn’t tie the city’s culture and history to the food we tasted. In another city, the food tour restaurants did that and also used the opportunity to court tasters with discounts. Having said that, the Oyster House with its creamy shrimp and grits, she-crab soup and especially the hush puppies with praline and pecan butter were sublime. The Toll House pie with caramel and pecan with a happy hour Stormy Night was a sweet ending. Our hostess Allison was friendly and got answers to questions she did not know.
