Great guide, lots of sweets

Celia was very patient and understanding with us as we ambled around slowly due to limited mobility. There's a lot of walking to be had on a summery Charlston day. We needed lots of water in addition to the sweets. We visited all local vendors as far as I can tell. Beignets, biscuits, mini pancakes, bennies, pralines, and Italian ice. Well worth it for those with a sweet tooth.

We're especially happy to hear that Celia helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for your group. Charleston's summer heat can certainly make those water breaks important! Thanks for the kind review, and we hope to host you again in Charleston or any of our donut holes around the world! 🍩

Learning about the sweets around Charleston.

We had a blast with our guide Crystin. Super pleasant, fun and knowledgeable. The walk was too long for the tour and the sweets were out of this world. The four of us had a great day.
