Brilliant tour with a very informative guide. We were given history of the city and colony and history of the food influences in the Low Country. Everything we tried was excellent, and I feel that we got a real flavour of the varied food available in Charleston and the Carolinas generally. Amazing flash fried oysters and crab cake slider! I ran out afterwards to buy a local cookery book in order to bring some of the flavours home with me. Thanks so much for a great tour.
The guide was nice and very knowledgeable, however only went to 2 restaurants, a spice store and candy shop. Biggest complaint, I don't know why people with food allergies, vegetarians and picky eaters choose food tours. Of the 7 of us, 4 fit into these categories and decrease the overall experience for everybody. It was somewhat difficult with a group of 7 a large stroller and wheelchair in the tight confines of some of these old buildings. The proprietors obviously had difficulty accommodating us without advanced notice of the needs of the group, Certainly not the tour equivalent of the Boston food tour.
Dani was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. She is a chef and historical guide and certainly is well informed and has some great stories to share. The food we sampled was amazing and diverse. She was so respectful of all the folks she engaged with. Highly recommend!
