This was by far our favorite tour out of all of the tours that we did in Charleston. Simon was our guide and he was very knowledgeable but also so kind and caring towards my family. Our kids are all adults (19-22) and they said this was one of the best things we have ever done out of ANY of our vacations. The food was incredible and going from place to place was really neat. We also liked getting to know other people on the tour while we were eating. Highly recommend!

Fun time with great narrative from our tour guide, Jessie. Bbq at Poogans smokehouse was fantastic. Four stops and we were very full when done!

My husband I recently had a fantastic experience on the Downtown Charleston Food Tour with Mike as our guide. Mike's knowledge and passion for the local cuisine made the tour memorable. His engaging commentary and wisdom of the food at each stop added so much value. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Charleston's culinary treasures, and having Mike as the guide made it even more remarkable. It was a delightful and delicious way to discover Charleston's vibrant food scene!

First time in Charleston and always try a foodie tour to sample the local fare. This experience did not disappoint. With the knowledge of our guide, Dana, and the food sampled, we learned a lot about Charlestons history and the foods were new to us and delicious. A great experience and highly recommended.
