What to expect
Charleston is one of America's best food cities, and a food tour is the efficient way to taste it: a handful of restaurants in a couple of hours, Lowcountry staples like shrimp and grits and she-crab soup, and a guide who explains the Gullah Geechee roots of the cooking. Come hungry; the tastings usually add up to a meal.
From the operator: Explore Charleston's City Market in the historic downtown district on a guided foodie walking tour. Learn about the city's history while enjoying tastings of Lowcountry cuisine.
