About this activity
After meeting your foodie guide at the first restaurant location in downtown Charleston, you will begin your walking tour and visit 3-4 restaurants, where you'll sample dishes at each, and then a final stop for dessert. Each visit lasts 20 to 30 minutes, and you'll be seated to rest your legs. For most people, the amount of food served is enough for a meal. As you enjoy walking through this historical section of the city, listen to stories about Charleston's culture and cuisine from your guide, who points out landmarks along your route. This wonderful experience will end within walking distance of your starting point.

Reviews
This tour is a great way to sample delicious food from select local restaurants while getting a little Charleston history/trivia as a side dish. Our tour guide ‘Hoon’ was a gifted story teller and generously shared his local knowledge! This was great fun!
Loved Mimi's your . All food was great except tiny slice of lemon bar and pushed alcoholic drinks. All our previous food tours would. Have more than one desserts to taste.
This tour was everything I wanted from a culinary food tour. We ate so much amazing food and it met and exceeded my expectations Our guide was great too
Last stop at Toast wouldn’t recommend. Served us old, cold cupcakes.
I am habitually a five star rater, however, this one was different. The tour leader, Patrick was young and a little full of himself. For instance, he had the attitude that his customers were ignorant of things like how to clean a cast iron pan, the meaning of the term low country, etc. Morevover, two of the four venues became primarily an opportunity to sell drinks rather than focus on the food. The food was good but by no means extraordinary.
