Historical, delicious, eclectic, and wholesome! Oh, and the food was amazing too! - Having enjoyed a private food tour and getting to know the owner/operator, Paige, we feel we lucked out with the best guide in Charleston! Her historical and culinary knowledge is broad, far extending beyond our expectations. The way she was able to tie history into the dishes and the city of Charleston left us satisfied in a way that no commercial operation could possibly contrive. She was further able to accommodate and provide consideration for our 10mo old daughter. 6 out of 5 stars! You won’t be disappointed!

Great walking food tour.!!!! - Page was our guide. She did an excellent job of describing the association of low country cuisine and the indigenous people who brought it here. The restaurants were a perfect blend of the history of Charleston and the food scene today. There is plenty of food and conversation. Page was very outgoing and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a foodie looking for a little history and plenty of good eats.

Charleston walking food tour - Page was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston, its relations to food, the origins of the food, and influences that make up low country cuisine. The food was indicative of region and you got to taste a variety of different dishes in portions that were just enough the you could enjoy all of them without feeling like you over ate. It was a great tour.

Good tour - We've been on other Charleston food tours. The others had better (and not so small) food samples at each tasting location. The history part was very good.
