Our Charleston Culinary tour was the best. Great foods, great info, and great laughs too. We will diffininly will be coming back to Charleston.

Check the destinations thoroughly. This tour took us to four places including two BBQ restaurants and that was too much. With all of the great foods in Charleston, eating at two BBQ places was not a good representation of the area. Our tour guide was slightly aloof and if you asked a question that was not in her database she ignored you. We've been on many food tours in many cities and this was somewhat disappointing. My expectations: A variety of places, Good dialog with the tour guide, Suggestions and recommendations from the tour guide and Enthusiasm for the tour.

Yum Yum yum and yum!!! If you want to get a handle on the food culture and restaurant scene in Charleston, go on this tour. The guide was an encyclopedia of the Charleston food scene and we covered a lot of ground. We even got a local restaurants cookbook at the end of the tour. There was so much variety for all kinds of pallets. Beyond barbecue and regional standards, you just got a range of tastes to try and you should definitely come on an empty stomach. Bravo!
