Traveler reviews
Quality Tour and Information
Faith Milone was our group's tour guide. We were on a combined tour - History and the Savory Tasting Tour. We were a group of 18 and all of us thoroughly enjoyed all of the history and information Faith provided. She is a top-notch tour guide and the best I have ever seen. My only suggestion for improvement is to split the 2 restaurant stops further apart on the tour. The food was wonderful but we were so full from the 1st stop that we could not eat much at the 2nd stop.
Walking food tour
A nice way to spend a couple of hours. Very relaxing and nice to try different food. Our tour guide Caitlin was wonderful. Felt like we were sitting and chatting with a friend
A Buffet of Food and History
Not only a buffet of food but a buffet of history as well! This tour was superb and the classic southern dishes served along the walking tour were excellent.
Informative and delicious food
Food was delicious and filling. There were some points where we were standing and the guide was pointing to other restaurants around us that we would not remember unless you had paper and pen. Otherwise fun!
Afternoon tour ensuring you won’t need a big dinner.
Jim and I knew nothing about the food of South Carolina and Charleston in particular. Dave introduced us to pimiento cheese, shrimp and grits, and she-crab soup as well as many other succulent treats. We visited 3 restaurants which were friendly and welcoming. The high point of the tour was The Spice & Tea Exchange. Could have spent half a day there. We thoroughly enjoyed the food but even more Dave’s fine tour guide mixture of gastronomy and history. A big recommendation.
