A delightful was to sample a variety of different dishes which Charleston specifically and the South in general are famous for. I is also a good way to burn off some of the calories you'll be consuming, as the walk is part of the experience! We stopped in 4 different establishments, each of which had there own unique offerings which he happily sampled. Make certain not to eat lunch beforehand if you take this tour. You probably will end up skipping dinner as well afterwards, as there is plenty of food at the four stops! It was an interesting and tasty afternoon which my wife and I enjoyed and would recommend!

Simon was wonderful. Our group was rowdy but he loved it. All the stops were very good. Small portion but after 4 stops it was plenty. Least favorite was the Frogmore Stew(Low country boil). Best was Poogans Smokehouse. Bit of BBQ in the collards. Dessert and expresso martini at Carmellos finished us up. Simon was so fun and has lots of cool info. A charming chap! Would do another tour with anytime!

We met at their office, the tour guide was sommer? A knowledgeable lady who mixed history and architecture without concentrating on any one subject. We tried a great local barbecue, followed by a good fish broil, then good southern cuisine which surprised us on many fronts! Finishing off with a good desert we felt full and as if if was good value.
