Do this tour! - You want to do this! If you love history, culture and GREAT food this is for you. Each person picked an ingredient at the market and the chef created a multi course feast while we did a different walking tour than typical heart of Charleston tours. John was our guide. Natasha our chef. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Our guide, Alice, did an... - Our guide, Alice, did an excellent job of leading the historical tour in the Elliotborough neighborhood. We got a great sense of the culinary history of Charleston. Alice also gave us recommendations for other places and restaurants to visit in the area. Chef Natasha made an amazing 4 course meal using items we chose a a local fresh market. Everything was unique and delicious! The Brie and bread was out of this world. We would highly recommend the tour, the restaurant, and Alice!

Please read! It was amazing! - My mom and I decided to do this tour on our Charleston visit, just to give us something fun to do for a few hours. This was one of the best experiences the two of us have ever had. Our guide, Jessica, was fantastic. So charismatic and interested. Her love for Charleston was apparent, and her ability to tell us a story or explain the history of downtown was unmatched. We went into the veggie bin, picked our ingredients (I picked coconut milk, for a challenge) and every part of our surprise 4 course meal (that we chose ingredients for) and dessert was incredible. I would 100% recommend this to anyone interested in something completely unique, getting to do a tour and food in one.

Money well spent - This was a great experience from our amazing guide John to the well prepared lunch at Uncork restaurant. . Food was well prepared with the ingredients everyone picked from a local grocery store called Veggie Bin. Chef was super flexible because I don’t eat pork and she accommodated my meals without any pork products. It’s a fun date idea for anyone who is looking for something different other than movies and dinner.

Money well spent!!! - Wow!! What a great day and an even better decision to take this culinary and historical tour with Jessie (our knowledgeable tour guide) and Natashia (our amazing creative chef). A fun 3 part experience that ends with a 5 course tasting of some of the most creative dishes I've had. I would highly recommend this tour!!! We learned so much on the walking tour and thoroughly enjoyed sitting down to a NO RUSH meal after and getting to talk with our fellow attendees.
