5.0If I could do more than 5 Stars I would. Our guide Page was delightful and knowledgeable. All food was a part of Charleston’s history. Starting with she-crab soup, Page explained its origins in Charleston and as we ate she tied the history together. Next a traditional rice and chicken dish and again right portion accompanied with more history and so it went. Page’s love of history and her hometown of Charleston was infectious. This a wonderful tour not to be missed.
