Nathan our tour guide was great! He was knowledgeable and had a lot of fun facts and stories. The tour itself was a good mix of bigger dishes and small bites and everything was delicious. I will be trying the recipe links Nathan sent.

Ask for Robin. This tour will cover low country cuisine and it's origins while you take an enjoyable stroll through Charleston's French Quarter. I learned so much about the history and was delighted with Robin's wit and humor. This was one of the best tours I've ever taken.
