Mimi was our guide to the various restaurants and stops for tasty bites of foods along the way. We learned of the history of the different foods served. Our favorite was the hush puppy! Some of the places were a bit noisy so difficult to hear the commentary but it was a late afternoon tour on a Saturday so expected! My favorite was the absolutely delicious coconut cake to top off the tour at the end!

This Downtown Culinary Tour is provided by CHARLESTON CULINARY TOURS, the longest-running food tour company in Charleston. Visit four food establishments on this 2.5-hour tour that combines elements of a historical tour with a culinary adventure! Learn about Charleston's history as you enjoy tastings of traditional favorites and contemporary innovations, all of which highlight the cuisine of locally-owned restaurants.
