Our guide Susan was pleasant, informative and engaging. The food at Poogan’s Smokehouse was really good, 5 Church was a beautiful space and the food delicious. The program needs to find an alternative to The Oyster House as the food wasn’t good, the wait staff was not good and the place smells.

Vacation time is always limited so we all want to maximize it. This culinary walking tour is worthy of your consideration when visiting Charleston. Our guide was Summer. She was very knowledgeable but wasn’t overbearing. The restaurants were all solid and the food samples were nice. See definitely visited a few places that weren’t on our restaurant radar.

We were blow away at the food we got to sample!! This was our first time doing a food tour but it certainly will not be our last. We were just a couple and we were pair up with a family of teens, parents & grandparents. They made us feel like part of their family. It was great. Our guide was the absolute best!!! She was so knowledgeable of the town's history and the food. She had such a great demeanor and personality. Thank you so much for such a memorable time!!!
Great exposure to eats you might not find on your own.

What a great tour. Mimi was a HOOT! We went to 4 different restaurants - they change based on group size and restaurant availability. One of them is always a dessert. We walked about 10 blocks total, but had a least 20 minutes rest in each restaurant. We have been on more than a dozen food tours and this one ranks right up there with those we most enjoyed.

We wanted to make plans in Charleston to do things we had not done before. This tour is so good. Our guide Susan was very fun and interactive. She made us feel very comfortable with others. We enjoyed great food and were so full by the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

So Much Food!

This tour was very fun. We visited 3 very different restaurants and an ice cream shop for dessert. Food was very good and we learned about the origin of the food and interesting tidbits about the chefs and restaurants. Our guide, Charlie (sp?), was enthusiastic and showed us some historic sites along the route to each new restaurant. She was very dynamic and knowledgeable. Each site offered at least 3 courses/options plus we could order wine/beer at each stop.Show up hungry because you will leave with a full stomach!
Come hungry because you will leave...

Come hungry because you will leave full. We visited 3 restaurants and a gourmet ice cream shop on Upper King Street. Each stop had delicious food - about 3-4 distinct offerings at each stop. Our guide, Charlie sp, was energetic and very knowledgeable about the history of the food as well as sites on the way to each restaurant. Food varied from hamburgers, to French cuisine, to BBQ. very yummy!
It costs extra for beer or wine but well worth it.
The best tour!

This tour is awesome! Mimi our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us history on everything. So it’s like having a history and culinary tour.
We tried restaurants we wouldn’t have known about and different areas of Charleston.
I highly recommend this tour it’s awsome.
