Unforgettable Charleston Tour with Page: The Perfect Blend of History, Culture, and Flavor - Our experience on this tour was phenomenal! It was just my wife and me, and Page made it feel so personal and engaging. She was incredibly informative and knowledgeable about both the food and the history of Charleston. We loved how she blended fascinating stories of the city’s past with a perfectly curated selection of local dishes. Every stop felt intentional and gave us a real taste of Charleston’s culture and charm. Page’s passion and warmth made the experience unforgettable, and we left not only full but with a deeper appreciation of the city. Highly recommend this tour.

Food Meets History and Culture - Our guide did an excellent job weaving the history and culture with the food development. Good variety of dishes, all with a historic/cultural connection to Charleston that was explained. We had three stops with a little walking in between each restaurant. Very nice evening, enough food to count as dinner!

Fantastic tour! - Page was a gracious host, who catered our tour to our interests and our personal celebration. She is highly knowledgeable and gave us an excellent blend of history of the city with history of the food. We were pleased there were included beverage options beyond just water at two of our three stops, and one of the restaurants was on our list of recommendations from friends who have visited Charleston. The food was delicious and we were quite full when we finished the tour. This was an excellent experience I would highly recommend!

Great Experience - We went on this walking tour and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent at each establishment Page took us to. She provided a lot of historical context while in the restaurants, so we didn't have to stand outside in the heat. She also offered some ideas for additional sites to see. Very informative and fun!

Good food on a rainy day - Page gave us a great tour with lots of historical stories about the founding of Charleston and the many "firsts" in the area. We had to walk between the raindrops and puddles but Page took that into account and talked mostly in the restaurants. The restaurants we visited had friendly and attentive servers. The foods were a great choice and helped to weave the story of the city together. We would highly recommend the tour and the restaurants!
