A Charleston MUST

A must do in Charleston! Our guide, Dave, was an incredible wealth of Charleston history! We had a wonderful taste of 4 great restaurants in Charleston! (The 4th was a spice market that did not disappoint )!

So much delicious food

Loved this tour. Like all the other reviews said, this tour gives a TON of food. As a vegetarian, I felt totally included and still experienced authentic Southern food. Guide Diane Rice was so sweet and very knowledgeable.

Anniversary/Birthday trip with the Family

Excellent experience, this was our second time going on this tour and having the best tour guide Faith to take us around. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and could point us in the right direction on anything in Charleston.
