Our guide Susan was pleasant, informative and engaging. The food at Poogan’s Smokehouse was really good, 5 Church was a beautiful space and the food delicious. The program needs to find an alternative to The Oyster House as the food wasn’t good, the wait staff was not good and the place smells.

Vacation time is always limited so we all want to maximize it. This culinary walking tour is worthy of your consideration when visiting Charleston. Our guide was Summer. She was very knowledgeable but wasn’t overbearing. The restaurants were all solid and the food samples were nice. See definitely visited a few places that weren’t on our restaurant radar.

We were blow away at the food we got to sample!! This was our first time doing a food tour but it certainly will not be our last. We were just a couple and we were pair up with a family of teens, parents & grandparents. They made us feel like part of their family. It was great. Our guide was the absolute best!!! She was so knowledgeable of the town's history and the food. She had such a great demeanor and personality. Thank you so much for such a memorable time!!!
Great exposure to eats you might not find on your own.

What a great tour. Mimi was a HOOT! We went to 4 different restaurants - they change based on group size and restaurant availability. One of them is always a dessert. We walked about 10 blocks total, but had a least 20 minutes rest in each restaurant. We have been on more than a dozen food tours and this one ranks right up there with those we most enjoyed.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
