Went with my husband.Paige was simply wonderful. A wealth of knowledge and charm. Restaurant and food selections were perfect. A real window into the low country culture and history behind the cuisine of Charleston. She was very kind and respectful. I would certainly enjoy any other tour she may give! Don't miss it!
