Open Sesame. - This was a great local experience and very much worth it in terms of value. Both the drinks and appetizers were ample, including shrimp and grits, crepes, empanadas, and some version of bacon but not pork belly. Our guide, Faye, had a ton of history to offer and knew a lot about each owner and the restaurant. The last stop—a hidden speakeasy with a passcode and a moving bookcase to enter was a real treat. Superb for our first visit to Greenville.

Very happy with this tour - Faye was an awesome tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about Greenville history. The drinks at each restaurant were very good especially the last one at the speakeasy, however that was our least favorite food pairing. The food was also very good and filling so you won’t likely be hungry at the end of the tour. We are very happy we booked this tour.

Imbibing ; Edibles and A LOT of Information ! - OK, this was a BLAST ! Foothill Foodies hit a home run with this tour. It was special because of our leader, Faye. She was a fountain of knowledge and was able to impart it with a sense of humor and energy. She had cautioned us that, "Nobody will leave this tour hungry." Well, filled to the gills is more like it ! Each eatery provided us with an alcoholic beverage and a FULL appetizer. Water was available but, why would you do that? The food was delicious ( I particularly enjoyed the crepe and the empanada) and plans to supplement the appetizers after noshing were dashed like the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. There is a particular element of the tour that is beyond cool but I won't ruin the surprise. Annoyed? See if you can DECIPHER THIS CLUE, "IZZY and MOE."

Thirsty Thursday for the WIN - Thirsty Thursday is an amazing way to spend a Thursday in Greenville! We ate yummy food, had amazing cocktails, saw the beautiful city of Greenville, and our terrific guide, Faye, shared facts that we enjoyed the entire trip! She was knowledgeable, kind, and fantastically fun! This tour was the highlight or our trip, and we went back to a couple of the restaurants later. Now we need a Foodie Friday and a Savory Saturday!

Terrific and Tasty Tour! - The Thirsty Thursday Cocktail Tour by Foothill Foodies is a terrific way to spend an evening in Greenville! My daughter is moving to Greenville and the Thirsty Thursday Cocktail Tour by Foothill Foodies proved to be a fun way to introduce us to her new hometown. With Fabulous Fay as our tour guide, we were enlightened to Greenville’s history while we enjoyed generous portions of appetizers and flavorful cocktails at a variety of truly wonderful restaurants. We highly recommend this tour!

A great way to get to know Greenville - This was a very good introduction to Greenville. Faye had great information and stories about the history and development of the area. My wife and I had a very enjoyable time. The people at each of the four restaurants were very welcoming and personable. I was initially concerned that the food and drink might be overpriced but after the tour I felt I got all of my money’s worth. The appetizers were very good and the drinks interesting. Thanks Faye for such a good time.
