Customer Reviews
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Had a fantastic time tasting food from iconic restaurants in Charleston!
Overall really enjoyed it! Wish a different dessert place was chosen (ice cream on a chilly day).
Was fun and informative. Good group, good food, good stories, good guide, only problem was lack of knowing up front that beverages other than water would be extra. Not a big problem, but that info should be presented early on.
