Well designed tour! A must do! - This was such a great tour! We’ve been coming to Charleston for 7 years now and this was definitely one of my favorite tours. Miss Alice is a wealth of information. Love her backstory. Enjoyed the other two couples on the tour too. It was such a great, enjoyable experience. The tour is about 3 hours in total - about a 2 hour walking tour of the Cannonborough neighborhood which is such a cute up and coming area of Charleston. And, then one hour of dining on a three course meal. It was a lot of fun walking through the quaint market to pick your food item and the same was true at Daniela’s - a cute eatery in the neighborhood. The chef was gracious and her creations were out of this world delicious.
I highly recommend this tour. And, will be sure to reach out to Miss Alice on our next visit to Charleston to join her on another tour.

Unique and Incredible Tour! - Highly recommend as this is a super fun tour! First, we parked in the recommended parking garage near the Hyatt House hotel and walked about 15 minutes to the meeting place, The Veggie Bin, where Jesse, our fabulous tour guide, had us choose our item for Chef Natasha to incorporate into her dishes. Then, Jesse led our group on a walking tour through a couple of the neighborhoods and the Jewish cemetery where she shared her “wealth of knowledge” about some of the Charleston history. One of the highlights was stopping at a local, quaint bakery to choose our desserts! Then, the grand finale concluded at Chef Natasha’s restaurant where she made an incredible, southern meal with our selected items and her farm fresh ingredients! After the tour, we even bought some Hot Sweet Peaches from her restaurant, paired with vanilla ice cream, and shared them with our friends who flew in a couple of days later - so yummy! My husband and I would definitely book this tour again when in the Charleston area!

Fun Experience - My wife and I were in Charleston and had a free day and did this as some as something of a last-minute whim. I’m glad we did. Certainly worth the time. Our guide, Jessie, was delightful and extremely knowledgeable and put us at ease. We went to two different stops and picked out what seemed to be somewhat random ingredients among our people, and gave them to our chef, Natalie, who then somehow magically transformed these ingredients into a delicious multiple course meal. While we are waiting for the meal to be cooked, we took a great tour of the area and learned even more about Charleston‘s fascinating history as well as the local culture. Great experience.

Just go- terrific! - Warm and friendly tour guide. Walk around Cannonborough neighborhood. Discussion of housing types, historical homes and the Jewish cemetery (late 1700s). The wonderful Pittsburgh family we were partnered with discussed all food choices at Veggie Bin and Daniela's. The 5 course lunch was definitely the best one we had on this entire trip. The chef there really made a fine dining quality lunch with the miscellaneous ingredients given. She is really a special chef. FUn cupcakes for dessert. This activity was definitely worth the expense. Just go!

Radcliffebourgh Tour - We loved Jess' knowledge of the area and the history of the jomes and businesses in the neighborhood. We were amazed by Chef Natasha's (Daniela's Downtown) ability to take the food items we selected and create an incredible dinning experience with all courses melding together. We would definitely recommend.

What do you do with a watermelon, chili pepper and pineapple sausage? - What would you do with a watermelon, chili pepper, pineapple sausage, purple carrots and a sweet potato? That was a challenge for Chef Natasha Cline, not us. Natasha created a marinade/reduction sauce with the watermelon juice, chili and honey. The reduction sauce was served under chunks of sausage and caramelized carrots and sweet potato. It was delectable!

Overall Sweet experience - The tour with Miss Alice was very knowledgable and sweet we picked up some veggies and protein so the chef will prepare a meal for us after the tour, meal was good and we went to local bakery sweets for dessert, they charge us for coffee after the meal which was uncomfortable for the price that you pay per person. Overall nice experience.
