Amazing tasting tour with Dana - We had an incredible tasting tour with Dana - the best of 6-8 tours we took across Charleston and Savannah. Dana is so knowledgeable and engaging, and excels in the details of the experience - choosing diverse and unique locations, understanding the history and influences of the restaurants (and owners) and connecting centuries of Charleston history with the ingredients and textures of the excellent food and drink we were enjoying! We were blown away with the evening!

So much FUN!!! - I was never really a tour kinda guy. My mom lives in Charleston and we decided to try something new. Dana was the BEST! We had a great time. The stories were really interesting and it was fun to stop at all the local spots and try a bunch of different delicious foods. Do yourself a favor and book a tour now. Especially if it’s not really your thing. I was shocked how much I liked it and how much fun we had!

Walking,eating, drinking through Charleston! - Highly recommend taking a tour with Dana! If you’re from out of town or a local. Dana has knowledge of the history of the city but also has the best food and drink recommendations! She makes the whole experience very personable and couldn’t recommend a better tour guide in the city!

The best way to experience Charleston for food and history! - Streets & Eats tour with local expert Dana Moore was an amazing way to learn about the history of Charleston while getting a delicious sampling of the local fare! Dana guided us through historic hidden alley ways to Rainbow Row, the French Quarter and South of Broad. The Callie biscuits at the start were a tasty snack, and the pulled pork sliders at Poogan’s were amazing. Topping it all off with homemade cannolis from Carmela’s! My family were all visiting from Boston and it was a fantastic way to experience the best of Charleston in just a few short hours! Dana was super knowledgeable and made the history of Charleston interesting enough to keep even my 8yr old daughter fully engaged.
