Philip was fantastic! He was well versed in local history. Keep Philip touring as much as possible. Viator is always very efficient.

overpriced. $100 per ticket for small servings of average food from 4 spots. considered it a donation. true tourist robbery and not worth it. make note of a few famous places, go there and get the famous dish. you will save yourself A LOT of money. if you want a history lesson, take a history tour.

Hoye

Jeff was great! We sampled wonderful southern food over 2 hrs including dessert. We also got some history along the way about Charleston and the origins of the dishes. Highly recommend!!

The tour group was small and the guide Jackson was engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. Overall we had a great time in the French Quarter neighborhood but my friend and I were disappointed in the food selections and portions at the restaurants except dessert at Carmellas. We actually ate at several restaurants in Charleston during our visit where the food was superior to the tour. Thought the tour would exceed our expectations. Hopefully they will change restaurants.

Sara did an excellent job of explaining the complicated history of Charleston as it has impacted the Low Country cuisine. The choice of restaurants gave us a great sampling of the regional foods of Charleston! All the food was delicious with the exception of the dessert. You would think that Carmella’s would have chosen a better sampling to offer to potential customers! Overall a great Food Tour!

Paige was friendly, fun and knowledgable. We enjoyed a small group tour with great food and interesting bits of history.
