A fantastic way to kick off our trip to Charleston. We met our group leader, Robin, and immediately realized she would be the highlight of the day. Smart, knowledgeable and plenty of Southern charm, complimented with a sassy, quick wit, she kept us well entertained throughout the day. The food stops were all outstanding. The education on Charleston cuisine and history was excellent. Robin also shared with us recommendations on other places to go during our stay in Charleston. A couple of suggestions for travelers ...upgrade to the drinkers package and at the end of the tour pretend you are a little disappointed in the choice you made for ice cream. It might lead to a second serving of another flavor. Thank you, Robin, for hooking me up!
