    This tour does not tell you in advance which restaurants the tour will visit, nor does it appropriately accomodate dietary restrictions even if they are notified of these restrictions in advance. The restaurant picks are just okay, the portions are tiny, and I left hungry because they could not accommodate me. Afterward, I let them know about my experience and they didn’t care and refused to take any responsibility even though I did my part by notifying them of my restrictions weeks in advance. They were not even aware of my restrictions because they forgot to look at them. Pick another tour.

    The tour was below our expectations, our guide was nice though. However I wouldn't pay this much again. The photos showed by the operator is a bit deceiving, we didn't got the food as showed (shrimp&grint or the fish foodplatter), which was dissapointing to be honest. Check the pictures of the traveler, thats what we got. I would recommend to go out on yourself, there are a lot of good restaurants in Charleston! The food tour is not worth the price. If you wanna learn more about the history I would book the (carriage) history tour.

    Had a good time with Page. She was very good with her knowledge of Charleston history! We loved the She-crab soup but were disappointed in a couple of the dishes.

    We really enjoyed the lunch/tour. We had out of town guests and this combined a lunch and city tour all wrapped up in one. Our tour guide, Page, did an excellent job leading the tour and provided great historical information back to the city's founding. We had very delicious offerings at four different venues. The first was a traditional Lowcountry soup, followed by two main courses and a dessert. It is a walking tour, but very compact, focused on the Market and East Bay street areas. We highly recommend this tour.
