Highly recommended - Paige was an amazing tour guide! She had so much knowledge of the area as a local and appreciation for the history of the foods tasted. She has relationships and insider tips you’d be hard pressed to find in just any tour guide. She also personalized our experience according to our taste and gave advice for the remainder of our visit. Lovely person to spend an afternoon with.

Page, wonderful tour guid. We would reach out to this tour again and recommend highly to others. - My Husband and I had a wonderful Food tour in April 2025. Page was our guide. She was so pleasant and engaging. Her knowledge of the whole Charleston area and history was fantastic. The flow of conversation and moving around the downtown area while enjoying very tasty food with very generous servings that we had to get To Go boxes at a couple places was so enjoyable. Highly recommend Page and will tell our friends and family to look for her when they visit Charleston.
