Five Stars
Ryan_H, Mar 2023
Our tour guide, Sarah, was very friendly and knowledgeable about Charleston and the food we tried on our tour. The food we tried was a good value for the cost of the tour. The only negative was that a few of the restaurants seemed annoyed/inconvenienced by having to serve our tour group.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Wonderful tour
MaryJager, Feb 2023
Donna was an excellent guide. She was full of interesting information. The Restaurants/shops were very nice. The food was excellent and we were full by the last stop. The stops change form day to day, but we ate/visited the following: Rudy Royale, Market Street Sweets, Oyster House, Spice and Tea shop, Poogan's Smokehouse. I highly recommend this tour for a well rounded food experience.

Delicious and Informative!
LeeC, Jan 2023
My wife and I loved the Savor the Flavors of Charleston Walking Food Tour! The tour was well-organized, enjoyable, and very delicious. It was a great way to experience the city and an awesome introduction for us as first-time visitors. Faith was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and information, and she gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our stay. We were so impressed and enjoyed learning so much about Charleston's history from her. I love food tours, and this one was one of the best.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Wow, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review!
Don’t do it
David_S, Jan 2023
Truthfully the memorable part was the negative parts. Going to a franchise restaurant to start the tour off was start of what to come. No kitchen tours or meeting chefs. This tour could have all been done outside of tour as there was nothing special or unique done. Extremely disappointing.
Foodie tour ❤️
