Great tour! Our guide, Robin, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about the history of the food and the town as we ate our way around Charleston. Come hungry; it’s a lot of great tasting, local food.

Had the absolute best time tasting great foods of Charleston, learning about new restaurants, and exploring the city. I went solo with a group of 12 and felt so welcome. Robin is THE BEST, highly recommend!!
