Absolutely perfect little tour of Charleston. Page, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made history so interesting. The food was literally to die for - I loved every bite, and plan to return to every restaurant she took us to the next time I visit. All of the staff at the restaurants were so gracious and welcoming - it was really beautiful honestly. This tour was a little slice of heaven and I’d recommend it to anyone.
We got a chance to sample many different delicious foods on this tour. Page was great and very informative and knowledgeable. This is not only a food tour, but more a history and culture tour through food, which we loved. She gave us a very good understanding of the roots of Charleston, its people and cultural melting point. We left with a better understanding of the troubles the city went through and what lays ahead of it. Food is a reflection of history and we had the opportunity and pleasure to eat and learn.
Tour was fun and extremely informational about the history of Charleston and the Low Country. Food was amazing! Paige was a great tour guide.

Tour guide Page was knowledgeable and very good. Gave great overview of history of food and area. Restaurants great.
I consider this to be one of the best tours of Charleston that I have ever experienced. Page is one of the best and guides you through Charleston’s French Quarter and several restaurants. Page knows her city and has created a wonderful food experience. I would say this is a Must Do Tour, if you are in Charleston.
This was a fantastic tour. We couldn’t have had a better tour and guide. Page was authentic, very knowledgeable and she did a perfect job organizing the food tour.
Very informative history to go with great selections of tasty local foods. You will want to book this tour first day of your visit so to utilize the knowledge gained to plan the rest of your trip. Page is a delightful guide with a pleasant friendly personality.
Page was fabulous! We had a group of 6 friends traveling together, and needed to make some special accommodations which Page was able to seamlessly incorporate. She provided a wonderful tour and we learned a lot, along with enjoying great food. Highly recommend doing this tour on your first day in Charleston to get your bearings and try out some delicious local options.
Page was an excellent guide. She was fun to spend the evening with and a wealth of information which she so skillfully conveyed. We learned so much about the Gullah culture and Charleston’s history. The food served was excellent. Everyone in the group had something they liked. I highly recommend this be your first activity when visiting town.
