So much delicious food - Loved this tour. Like all the other reviews said, this tour gives a TON of food. As a vegetarian, I felt totally included and still experienced authentic Southern food. Guide Diane Rice was so sweet and very knowledgeable.

Anniversary/Birthday trip with the Family - Excellent experience, this was our second time going on this tour and having the best tour guide Faith to take us around. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and could point us in the right direction on anything in Charleston.

Quality Tour and Information - Faith Milone was our group's tour guide. We were on a combined tour - History and the Savory Tasting Tour. We were a group of 18 and all of us thoroughly enjoyed all of the history and information Faith provided. She is a top-notch tour guide and the best I have ever seen. My only suggestion for improvement is to split the 2 restaurant stops further apart on the tour. The food was wonderful but we were so full from the 1st stop that we could not eat much at the 2nd stop.

Informative and delicious food - Food was delicious and filling. There were some points where we were standing and the guide was pointing to other restaurants around us that we would not remember unless you had paper and pen. Otherwise fun!

A Delicious Way to Experience Charleston - We had a great experience on the Savor the Flavors Food Tour! Our tour guide, Gordon, was very knowledgeable about Charleston and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We visited four different locations, and each one was ready for us when we arrived. The service at every stop was excellent, and Gordon was always available if we needed anything. Our first stop featured BBQ, and it was delicious. The only downside was that the collard greens were much too salty for my taste, so I wasn't able to eat them. The Lowcountry boil at our second stop was a true Charleston experience. My kids had never tried one before, and they really enjoyed it. The Spice & Tea Exchange was a unique stop, and we had great samplings. I only wish we had a few more minutes there to explore everything the shop had to offer. Our final stop was in a restaurant with beautiful, unique architecture, and the food was good. However, it was a chain restaurant. I would have preferred for all of the food stops to feature restaurants that are unique to Charleston. One additional suggestion would be to end the tour with a dessert or chocolate stop. I think that would be the perfect way to finish the experience. Overall, the tour was definitely worth the money. We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and I would absolutely do it again.
