Nice to work with in light of airline cancellations - Unfortunately we were apart of the online mess up with delta. Our trip was canceled due to no pilots. But I was able to cancel our walking tour for the next day with no problems.

Unique and Tasty way to see Charleston! - What a great way to see the Downtown area of Charleston! The history provided by our guide, Dena, was very interesting and relevant. And the food was fantastic! We especially loved the dishes we had at 82 Queen and Ruby Sunshine. We love doing food tours as it's a window into the local world as well as introduces us to foods and dishes we wouldn't ordinarily order for ourselves. What a great experience!

Diverse Flavors of Charleston - Our guide Faith was very knowledgeable in the history of the area and how it impacted the area’s traditional foods. The food samplings were pretty diverse, from SC oysters to pulled pork, and were all delicious!

Savor the Bulldog Food Tour - This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Jade, was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour started precisely on time, and it ended the same way even though we visited three different restaurants and a spice merchant. The stops were planned perfectly, and there were no delays or down time. The food was good -- considerably better than expected, and there was plenty of it. If you're trying to find a good food tour that spends a reasonable amount of time (2.5 hours) and is professionally run, this one should be at the top of your list.

We had issues coming from... - We had issues coming from the airport and were late to start the tour. They let us meet them at the next stop and had our food waiting for us. We tried lots of different foods and bought some spices to go home with. We ate enough food that we didn’t even need dinner that night.
Lacey was amazing!!
