We took this tour with Diane Rice who was a unbelievable guide, full of great information and fun facts about the origin of the food we were eating as well as the streets of Charleston. We had a great smattering of various foods hitting 4 locations where we had hand pies, a spice tasting, Shrimp and Grits, Hush Puppies, She-Crab Soup, Pimento Cheese, Pork Sliders, and Collard Greens!
Definitely book this tour

Not the flavors
Ann_F, Feb 2024
The tour was not the flavors of Charleston but a disconnected stop of places by the starting point. It was not the culinary experience that I have experienced on other tours. I would not recommend.

The food that we sampled and ample by the time we finished I was full and couldn’t eat anything else for the rest of the day. I really enjoyed Jan she has an extensive knowledge of the food in Charleston and gave us recommendations for other restaurants. As an out of town visitor I had a problem with the parking and lost my car and the tour company was very accommodating and helped me locate my car All in all a wonderful experience.
Yummy!
