What can I say, Wow! What a wonderful well curated walking tour. Had the opportunity to take the…read morefoodie tour this past Friday with a friend of mine and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with these ladies. The restaurants selected were well thought out and included several off the beaten trail locations that many people may have just rode right past. This tour introduced us to new yummy places and the history of Augusta. On our tour we stopped at about 5 places and got samples of foods and treats from each. At the end of our trip we also checked out some local stores and got to try some locally made bourbon and vodka. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area or even locals looking for something new to try. This tour is fun and informative without being too stuffy or boring. Everyone in our group had an amazing time and enjoyed the ladies of The Foodie Trot! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

If you're in the Columbia area and want something different to do, try Columbia Food Tours, LLC…read more Grab a group of friends/family or even go solo like I did! It's a walking tour lasting about 3-3 1/2 hours, so make sure you wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Just a heads up: if you're a picky eater or have food allergies, this tour may not be for you. Or if you have bad legs and can't stand or walk for long periods of time then it's definitely not for you. ‍ They don't accommodate substitutions and the food is pre-selected by each restaurant. I went by myself and still had a great time. I met some awesome people in my group, and the tour guide did an amazing job! Definitely worth checking out if you want a fun, social, and different experience in Columbia. I'll definitely be going back and actually eat at some of the restaurants that were featured on the tour!!

We had some family from New York come down and we really wanted to showcase Columbia in a fun way. This was a winner!! First, I love that they've partnered with Historic Columbia. Our historical guide was A+ and really knew his stuff. I learned so much about this city and really have gained a new appreciation of it. He is a VOLUNTEER and any tips go back to Historic Columbia. How cool is that?! I also loved that the buildings that the restaurants are housed in have so much history as well!! I mean: who knew THAT about Pearlz?? I really liked that we were in front of the Adluh mill and learning about its history, then off to Blue Marlin where we actually had the grits made at that same mill. Even the "Yankees" loved the grits and were pleasantly surprised! The restaurants were a great representation of some of the different places in Columbia. Just to give you an idea, we went to Blue Marlin, SakiTumi, Liberty Taproom, Hickory Tavern, and Kaminsky's for desert. Some members in our party were worried that we would still be hungry after the tour. Nuh-uh!! At the end of the tour you've eaten the equivalent of a full meal. It left us really satisfied and wanting to come back to each place and try a meal at each. It really inspired debate about our favorite places on the tour. The Two Gals (Gloria and Janet) are just lovely! They are so sociable and fun and really know their stuff. I really appreciated the fact that the actual two gals are a part of the tour as well. One of them stays with the group while another goes on ahead to make sure everything is ready at our next stop. You can really tell that they've done everything to make sure the tour goes as smooth as possible. Email and phone communication with them before the tour was a pleasant experience and there were no hiccups of any kind. We definitely would love to go on another tour with these gals they really are A++. I highly recommend either a private or public tour with them. They even do brunch tours!

It is a fun place to visit and I could see this being a main grocery store for those who live nearby. It's worth the 30 minute drive for us, plus some nice countryside to see along the way. The staff is very helpful. The store is now much larger, clean and organized and well kept.

Finished up with dessert and a smokey blackberry mojito and some had shots of Red Bull ! We also walked around Midtown & learned about the area ...

They gave us fun information about each brewery we visited and insider information of what beers to try. They also shared any piece of information they have gained over their many years of beer tasting. As visitors from out of town we also made sure we asked for restaurants and sites to see around town, Justin and Erin were happy to help out. We rode around in a clean and spacious bus with a private driver. You get picked up and dropped off at the same spot if you choose to do so. You even get a gift bag at the beginning. Over the afternoon you may even bond with your other group members and make the tour that much better. Take the next opportunity to take this tour, whether you're a local or visiting. It's worth your time and money.
