Charleston Food tour
Paige was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and shared a lot with us while we enjoyed some of the great food samplings that make the “low country” what it is.

A walk through low country cuisine
Went with my husband.Paige was simply wonderful. A wealth of knowledge and charm. Restaurant and food selections were perfect. A real window into the low country culture and history behind the cuisine of Charleston. She was very kind and respectful. I would certainly enjoy any other tour she may give! Don't miss it!
