Traveler reviews
Great tour, exceptional food
Great, comprehensive tour. The food was excellent and our tour guide, Faith, was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable about the food and history of the city. She totally made the tour worth every penny!
A Delicious Way to Experience Charleston
We had a great experience on the Savor the Flavors Food Tour! Our tour guide, Gordon, was very knowledgeable about Charleston and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We visited four different locations, and each one was ready for us when we arrived. The service at every stop was excellent, and Gordon was always available if we needed anything. Our first stop featured BBQ, and it was delicious. The only downside was that the collard greens were much too salty for my taste, so I wasn't able to eat them. The Lowcountry boil at our second stop was a true Charleston experience. My kids had never tried one before, and they really enjoyed it. The Spice & Tea Exchange was a unique stop, and we had great samplings. I only wish we had a few more minutes there to explore everything the shop had to offer. Our final stop was in a restaurant with beautiful, unique architecture, and the food was good. However, it was a chain restaurant. I would have preferred for all of the food stops to feature restaurants that are unique to Charleston. One additional suggestion would be to end the tour with a dessert or chocolate stop. I think that would be the perfect way to finish the experience. Overall, the tour was definitely worth the money. We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and I would absolutely do it again.
Amazing
It was so much fun! Getting to see various places and try lots of food. Definitely had enough to eat! Dena was an amazing guide too!
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
