    What you'll do

    Our tour starts in front of the Port of Call Food + Brew Hall, where we'll kick off a delicious exploration of Charleston's vibrant food scene.
    Next, you'll dig into some South Carolina-style BBQ, believed to be the oldest barbeque in the world!
    As you continue the tour, you'll take a leisurely stroll through the Historic Charleston City Market and delve into the history of the African slave trade's impact on the local cuisine. Discover how classic ingredients such as benne seeds and collard greens were introduced to the local diet and have since become a staple of Lowcountry cuisine.
    Of course, no visit to the Lowcountry would be complete without sampling some of the freshest seafood our city offers!
    Satisfy your sweet tooth with a scoop of handmade ice cream crafted from scratch using locally sourced ingredients from Lowcountry farmers, purveyors, and chefs. It's creamy, flavorful, and simply irresistible!
    As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.

    +

    Voucher

    I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

    Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

    Is there a lot of walking?

    +

    To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 1 hour walking but it's not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.

    What if it rains or I change my plans?

    +

    Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Charleston. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

    Can I pay the tour in cash?

    +

    You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

    Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

    +

    The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

    Foreign Transaction Fees

    +

    A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
