Food Tour - Historic Charleston in Charleston

Not much history or history of the food in Charleston was shared. Not much was tied together of the food and what it meant to the South

On this food tour of Charleston's French Quarter, we had a blast! Jessi was a fantastic tour guide—friendly and relaxed, he made sure we kept to the schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and he gave us lots of useful information on the local cuisine and interesting places as we traveled. We visited five different places, sampling a variety of Charleston-area specialties at each stop. I highly recommend this food tour as a delightful and enjoyable way to learn more about a lovely city and its particular flavor.

Oliver provided a wonderful experience, I must say! He was very intelligent, fascinating, and friendly. He took us to six fantastic places where we sampled local food including Irish food and barbeque, drank beer in one of the oldest taverns in America, and had a meal at one of Charleston's fine dining establishments. He revealed to us certain mysteries that we eagerly anticipate learning later. He was always on time and well-organized, and his generosity was a special experience. We definitely recommend Oliver serve as your tour guide.

Local Charleston resident here. Laurie served as my tour guide. She took us to some incredible local spots that I was unaware of and told us a ton of fascinating tales about how Charleston's cuisine and drink have contributed significantly to the city's history. All of us on the trip felt welcome thanks to Laurie's warmth, friendliness, and expert knowledge. She also patiently answered all of our queries. In the city I call home, I never anticipated to discover so many undiscovered jewels! You won't go away hungry though! This was some of the nicest food I've had in Charleston, and the portions were generous. I adore Laurie and would recommend this tour!

Jessi, our tour guide, was outstanding. She took us to five fantastic locations, and she had meticulously planned the entire trip in advance. The menu included a wide choice of tasty cuisine and drinks. We also valued Jessi's familiarity with Charleston's past. She shared some really fascinating information with us about the early days of colonization, the various religious groups that immigrated from Europe, as well as some significant contributions made by women and African Americans over the course of the previous 300 years. Overall, a fantastic experience.

We highly recommend doing this tour! If we hadn't done this trip, we would have missed out on how lovely this part of the city was. The tour guide, Jessi, was fantastic! She is also a cook and shared with us some advice on utilizing our own green egg smoker as well as a few of his own dishes. She was quite knowledgeable about Charleston as a local. This tour was by far our favorite out of the two that we took in Charleston that week. We skipped dinner that night because we were too full. We enjoyed the finest shrimp and grits in the entire city on this trip! Also fantastic was the Nutella dessert.

Our guide did a great job. While we were traveling to each destination, he was extremely knowledgeable about the food we ate as well as the history of Charleston. We laughed a lot and had fantastic chats. He even organized a Happy Birthday song for my daughter at the restaurant. Her 22nd birthday was celebrated in a wonderful way. This was an excellent opportunity to sample the fantastic food that Charleston has to offer. You won't regret trying this tour and eating like the natives.

In downtown Charleston, Laurie made a great food tour guide. I've taken various cuisine tours, but Laurie provided a lot more information about each establishment we visited. The options were excellent. The shrimp and grits were fantastic. The she-crab soup was well-liked by all. Then beignets a distinctive but tasty twist. To top it all off, Laurie guided us around the eateries' streets while explaining the significance of several Charleston landmarks. I adored it! Absolutely worth the cost!
