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

Glen was our tour guide and he was very good, interesting, and really made the tour enjoyable. He really knows his stuff! Don't eat before you go! PLENTY of food!

Before I went on this I read the reviews, and I had the impression there would be plenty of food to eat,not true. Although, what we did have, was very good.

Super yummy...the culture and food history info given by our tour guide Susan was perfect. The only change I would make or add is that instead of eating 3 separate dishes at the first spot we could've added 2 more restaurants to try. The more exposure, the better. But all the food was a amazing.
