Great tour for start of your visit to historic Charleston: you walk around historic district so you get up-close view of gardens, house architecture and introduction to eating establishments and types of foods in that area. Another plus, since took tour on Monday, was we got to eat stone ground grits and sweet potato bread at Dixie Supply Bakery and Café a Diners Drive-ins and Dives feature even though it was closed that day. Got to sample hush puppies, low country BBQ sauce, couple of kinds of differently prepared greens and corn muffins, sweets, pulled pork BBQ, seasoning dips, and a few different iced teas and lemonades in other locations. Guide also showed us where to buy local ingredients in tourist location. Our tour guide Fran certainly enhanced the tour by encouraging all three couples to share their Charleston and other areas eating and touring experiences.
Tour was good and so were the restaurants we went to, but felt we wasted time in a store and not sure really what that had to do with Savoring the Flavors of Charleston.
Tour guide was good but walked too fast for the group and always liked to walk ahead and not talk while we walked. Would have been nice to learn something about places we passed on the street.
I loved all the information and history of southern food. I did get extremely full , so my recommendation is to have your food boxed up. The food itself was amazing as well.
