Must do in Charleston. Dessert was good but the host was awesome! - If you enjoy history you’ll enjoy this experience. We went as a family on the last night of our three day stay in Charleston. It was great because we spent the first two days walking around and learning about the history of the city. If I could do it over, I would have done this on the first night we were there. The desserts were great but Jeremy was amazing. You can tell that he loves the city and knows a ridiculous amount of information about it. I didn’t ask, but I bet he could tell you the exact amount of bricks in the sidewalks. I’m not kidding, he knows that many details about the city and the culture. We all loved hearing stories about the city and the darker side of its history. Jeremy gave us tons of places to check out around the city and told us a bit about each of them. I thought we had seen just about everything Charleston had to offer, but I was wrong. We’ll have to come back soon to see the rest and this time we’ll book an evening at the beginning of our trip. Oh, and as a bonus, if you’re there in the sweltering heat of the summer this tour is air conditioned.

Ghostly Sweets and Stories - My son and I did two different evenings with Charleston Culinary Tours. The Pints, Pubs, and Taprooms crawl tour was so informative with the historical facts shared and the guide, Coby, was a wealth of knowledge and had a fun personality. Our next evening was the Dessert with Death. The guide shared ghost stories and lots of visuals with his storytelling of Charleston’s last 350+ years. The desserts were tasty, but we enjoyed the haunted history much more. Both of our guides the two evenings were amazing, very personable, they kept it fun, light, and certainly didn’t short us on the incredible history of Charleston. These two evenings were the highlights of our visit and we are already planning our return.

Death is a Drag was a kill! - We did “death is a drag” with Kira and had the best time. She was amazing and an amazing storyteller. It wasn’t what we were expecting at all and I’m so glad we did it. The desserts were so yummy but I’m most pleased with all of the history we learned. Would totally recommend Kira!

Ehhh... - Guide/presenter seemed tipsy. History was ok, but not worth the purchase price. Desserts were good but I'd rather have a list of the places and let me try them on my own.

ok, i think our host... - ok, i think our host should have worn professional apparel even shorts with a nice polo shirt would have been more appropriate. With him slurping his drink , it was distracting. Charleston is full of wonderful exciting ghost stories. The story about the european ghost was boring. it would have been better with spooky stories. also, repeating “ take the tour “ was unnecessary. talking about the pirates captured and jailed would have added to the jail story. i recommend the host take the ghost walking tour to brush up on current ghosts
