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

What a great idea! And Glenn was the perfect guide. We loved his energy and passion for the Charleston food scene. We started at the Cumberland St. Smokehouse where they put out a full spread: BBQ, beans, pork rinds. The star of the show was their rubbed chicken wings, they were spectacular. This was followed by blueberry milkshakes at Carmella's, much appreciated on a 90-degree afternoon. Poogan's Smokehouse was next, where we had eaten lunch the day before. They too brought out a full spread. But I was disappointed in their mac-and-cheese, too runny. After grabbing a corndog-like shrimp-on-a-stick from Amen Street, we finished with a slice of tollhouse cookie pie at Kaminsky's. Decadent. The reviews are right. Take this tour for lunch and you won't want dinner. We loved it. Be sure to ask for one of Glenn's tours.

Highly recommend this tour! Amazing food and great information. I suggest doing this tour early in your trip so that you have lots of good information going into choosing restaurants throughout your stay! Well worth every penny! Also DO NOT eat anything before you take this tour. There will be LOTS of food!
