Unique Experience - My mom and I loved the international sweets tour while in Charleston, it was such a unique thing to do. Crystin was wonderful- it felt like meeting with an old friend who knew all the best dessert shops in the city. Would recommend.

Charleston Historic City Market & Sweet Treats Tour - A culinary walking tour is a wonderful way to see the sites of a new city and to experience its vibe through food. The tour was further enhanced by the enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide, Crystin. Not only was the food and its history explained well, additional foodie recommendations were made, as well as providing a history of Charleston. Although touring in a group with strangers, I was impressed with how clean (e.g. - gloves, separate containers, plenty of napkins, clean utensils) all was kept, so as to not have strangers touching my food.

Delicious Treats, Fantastic Guide - I definitely recommend taking the Underground Donut Tour in Charleston! Cristyn was a wonderful, very knowledgeable guide with a fantastic personality! All the sweet treats were delicious, and the hot cider was certainly appreciated on the chilly, rainy morning tour! I look forward to taking the Underground Donut Tours in other cities.

The BEST treats and time with Crystin!! - We had the MOST AMAZING time on our sweets and treats tour with Crystin!!! The food was incredible but by far the ✨highlight ✨ of our morning (and honestly our entire trip) was Crystin! She was such a fabulous host, knew so much about the city, and treated us phenomenally. Can’t express how happy we are with our time on the tour!

Donut Tour in downtown Charleston - Morgan was our tour guide on our donut trip around Charleston. Morgan has a great attitude and very positive about the city of Charleston. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. She took us to various breakfast spots in the area. All of the tastings were delicious. She bought my wife and I a special treat for our wedding anniversary. We would definitely recommend the tour and you would be lucky to have Morgan as your tour guide.

Springtime fun - Cristyn was such a wonderful guide! She was warm and knowledgeable about both the food and Charleston’s history. Locals that happened by our tour raved about her-you can tell she’s loved in the Charleston community. It was such a great experience and I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely try it in other cities!

Very disappointing - Very disappointing. We have been on other underground Donut tours, and have enjoyed them tremendously. Not this time. Our tour guide was very friendly, but did not offer any information about history of the area or the places we were walking past. If asked a direct question, she would answer, but never stopped walking so unless you were next to her, you did not hear anything. As an example, we walked directly past the slave market, and she never made a comment. We had a small group, our party of six and two others, so there was no reason she could not have stopped to give information. As far as the treats, the first shop with the beignets was fine, but after that, the amounts given were basically sample sizes. We actually left the tour and looked for breakfast, because we were all still very hungry. I would not recommend this tour.
