His tour is a delightful experience that takes you back in time to really understand why this cuisine is so important to our country's heritage. The walking tour is very pleasant and truly interesting, and the lunch that follows is absolutely amazing. The menu changes with the season and is always made with nothing but local ingredients. This time we started with a delicious Butternut Squash soup followed by Shrimp and Grits. Now, this one of my favorite dishes and I've never tasted better. We finished with bread pudding made from Krispy Kreme doughnuts?? Shut the front door! My wife and I would do this again and again. This a must do, and we highly recommend you put it on your list!

Tip: Pack a bottle of water for the walk - or you can purchase a drink near the beginning of the walking tour at a coffee shop.

Charleston Upper King Street Culinary Tour Guide: Georgia…read more 4 stops is pretty low for a food tour, especially since the last one was gelato. Our 3rd stop was a chicken quesadilla and tortilla chips with salsa and queso. I would never call that a "culinary experience". The mussels on the first stop was good but it was shared and some people are gross. A woman I was sharing with used the fork she ate off of to pick mussels out of our shared bowl AND double dipped her bread in the mussel juice. Individual small portions would've been better especially considering I traveled alone. I chose this company because it was local, when I typically use the same one, thinking it would've been the best. I was fooled. This was my least favorite food tour of all my travels. The others might be better. Stops & Food: 1. 39 Rue de Jean- mussels, bread, truffle fries, and brussel sprouts 2. Uncork Charleston - meatball (golf ball sized) 3. El Jefe Texican Cantina- chicken quesadilla, tortilla chips with queso and salsa 4. Tinto Café & Provisions- gelato

She…read morekicked things off right on time and clearly explained what to expect -- how many stops we'd have, how long each one would take, and what was included. Her funny, upbeat, and sweet demeanor set the tone immediately and made the whole group smile. Our group included about ten guests from various parts of the East Coast, and although that felt like a lot at first, Crystin did an amazing job making sure everyone could hear and stay engaged. Between each stop, she shared fascinating bits of Charleston history -- from local architecture to the stories behind churches and Philadelphia Street -- which added great context between all the delicious bites. Food Highlights: * Port of Call: We sampled chicken bog, and Crystin explained the dish's origins and regional variations. Several guests mentioned it was their favorite of the tour. * Oyster House: Shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, hush puppies, praline brown butter, and pimento cheese -- all delicious and generously portioned. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of she-crab soup. Honestly, there was so much food that I couldn't finish it all! * Well Hung Vineyard: Cola-braised short ribs served with vegetables and bacon flakes -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly presented. Crystin shared the background of the restaurant and its owners. Drinks were optional (and worth it); I tried the blood orange martini while others opted for wine flights. * Market Street Stops: We visited three more spots for sweets, pastries, and biscuits. While I'm not much of a dessert person, these places gave great insight into Market Street's history -- including stories about earthquakes, flooding, and rebuilding. Overall, this was truly a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend for couples, families, or any food lover who enjoys walking, eating, and learning. Spending our first day in Charleston on this tour with Crystin was the perfect way to kick off our trip!

We are a senior couple, experienced travelers, who needed some guidance in planning a two week…read moretrip to Charleston Beaufort and Savannah in June 2026. As this was our first trip to the part of the USA we wanted to experience the South as visitors not rushed as tourists. After finding Kevin we knew we had found the right person to plan this visit based upon travel style. KEVIN EXCEEDED OUT EXPECTATIONS IN THIS REGARD. What I particularly liked was that in the planning stage Kevin provided pre-selected recommendations for Hotels, tour guides and dining. This allowed us to take the time to review his recommendations on line and select those that best fit our travel style. Although budget was not a constraint for this trip Kevin's recommendations were balanced including both private and very small group tours and fine dining plus the hidden places only a local would know for a true taste of the South. Although Kevin laid out the plan we still felt it was "our" trip because of the ability to choose among great options. Kevin plans allow for you a to customize your trip while still having the benefit of an experienced planner. Our tour guides ranged from very very good to TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. We avoided touristy places and had unique experiences that self-internet planner would unlikely ever find.One of the Kevin's strengths was sequencing the order of our tours in both Charleston and Savannah so that one experience built on the other something I could never have done on my own. Every tour guide was on time and never once did we wait to be seated in the restaurants he reserved for us. Kevin provides you with a detailed itinerary down to recommended entrée selections at the restaurants that have been reserved. I'd like to comment on Kevin in trip follow up to questions but I can't. Because of the excellence of the itinerary provided down to how early to leave for activities due to driving times, we never had any need for follow up during the two weeks of out travel. So the question boils down to due you want to have nice trip that you or an out of town travel agent planned on the internet or do you want to experience an EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOM TRAVEL EXPERIENCE. If it's the latter I can't imagine a better choice that Kevin for Charleston Beaufort and Savannah.

Our group of 3 had a main focus on the history of Charleston and Savannah and Kevin delivered. But he knew that we would also need a break and worked in tours that highlighted the charm and feel for each city including a late night stroll with him. His restaurant bookings were so helpful when you travel, finding good places to eat that have a table can be very challenging. To not have to think about where I'm going each night was a blessing. I can't recommend enough having him plan your visit to what you love to do most when you travel.

It was boring, way too long, and not a single "joke" was funny. It lasted about a half an hour longer than it should have. Two hours was an hour and a half too long already. If you like sweating, getting bit by bugs (due to the alley ways) and dying of heat stroke all while it feels like you're back in high school with your least favorite teacher giving a lecture, being told "stand here" "take a picture now" "no move over there" then this is the place for you! Complete waste of money. We're all disappointed. I hate leaving bad reviews, truly I hate bashing someone's passion or career, but I just wanted to warn you all.
