The Restaurants chosen for this tour were amazing! We got to try different foods for the first time like a southern favorite, the fried green tomato. Our tour guide, Beth, was very informative and fun! Highly recommend this tour!

Awesome walking tour with Sarah
Cathy
, Mar 2020
Our group of 8 had a food tour with Sarah. She was amazing! We loved they way she explained the "layering" of food as it related to the original settlers of Charleston. She was interesting and full of information. We had lots of questions and she had the answers! Our 4 stops were all fabulous. It was difficult for us to rank the food from favorite to least favorite because everything was delicious. We had one local person with us and she was so impressed with the restaurant stops that we made. She knew these places by reputation and said they were extremely popular. Sarah was great and took her time. Everyone in our group had a ball! I highly recommend this tour while in Charleston.

A Thoroughly Enjoyable Experience

We have been on several walking food tours but this was by far the best. The food was delicious and my shellfish allergy was accommodated with tasty alternatives. Our guide, Gordon, was extremely knowledgeable about both the history of Charleston and the ingredients and cooking techniques used to prepare the food we sampled. The Flavors of Upper King Street will be a lasting memory of our trip to Charleston.
