For a foodie, this is a Four, not Five

The food was superb, and Kristin very knowledgeable. For those of us who have done other food tours, what was lacking was input from the owners (or even the servers) of the restaurants. The shrimp and grits dish was delicious, but how was it prepared? How did they describe it on their menu? What other enticing items might they offer? This part seemed much less personal than other food tours. While it’s fun to learn about the city, the food was the reason I booked.

Best tour guide and great food!

Genevieve, was the best tour guide we have ever had! She keeps things fun, and we could tell she loved her job and the city. She was knowledgeable about the town and sites. She made us feel like she was glad to be around us. One of the best food items was the shrimp and grits although all of them were excellent! We also really liked mikes ice cream.
