What an absolute fabulous time we had. There is so much to unwrap here. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but it’s safe to say you will leave satisfied and content. The combination of history and food make for a wonderful time. I live in Charleston and still learned a lot. Got this for my girlfriends birthday. She loved it. We are still a little stunned at what is provided during the span of the tour. An absolute bargain for the cost of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed and the other couples clearly did as well. Felt like royalty and extremely relaxing.

The Walk... The Food... The Entire Experience!

Where to begin? A guide with a great sense of humor and wealth of Charleston knowledge... and he can cook, too! The walk was really enjoyable. He even took pictures of each couple / group traveling together, printed the pictures, and gave us each a personal photo magnet! Then the food. Oh my goodness. Every course was absolutely delicious. Seriously, the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. Oh and the wine pairing! Fabulous wines! Everything was delicious. Forrest was willing to answer each and every question with patience and clearly he enjoyed imparting his information be it on the city of Charleston, cooking, ingredients, appliances, you name it! Down to earth and fun. I would highly recommend this tour!

After many trips to Charleston, this was easily one of the best experiences we have ever had here! The tour conducted by Chef Forrest was fun and loaded with tons of information. Better than the carriage ride tours because you are actually touching the buildings and walking down each ally. Duelers’ ally was so neat. Now to the best part - Chef Forrest cooked a fantastic meal while discussing the origins of the recipes and the different ingredients. It was so good; the various dishes evoked emotion. If you have a chance this is a must do tour! I promise you will be blown away.
