Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this walking tour, and is it suitable for kids?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Streets and Eats tour, but it's more geared toward adults and teens due to the food and cultural insights. However, kids are welcome! Just keep in mind that some of the tastings may not appeal to their taste buds. The tour is a leisurely pace, so it can work for families as long as they can walk for about 2.5 hours.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad? We’re planning to go in September.

A: Yes, the tour provider is pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather. If rain is in the forecast, just reach out to them a day or two in advance and they’ll help you find a better time. They really want you to enjoy the experience without worrying about being soaked!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: Casual is the way to go! You'll want to wear comfortable walking shoes since you'll be on your feet for a while. Light layers are recommended for September since it can get warm, but also cooler in the shade. Just leave the fancy clothes for dinner afterward!

Hey everyone! I'm considering this walking food tour in Charleston for my friends who are visiting next month. They love trying new foods and exploring history. Has anyone done it? How was the food selection? And is it easy to navigate the different neighborhoods?

Loved the Streets and Eats tour in Charleston!

Just got back from the Streets and Eats tour and wow, it was everything I hoped for! The bites were delicious and the guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. We explored Rainbow Row and South of Broad, and each stop was so photo-worthy! If you're unsure about this as a gift, don't be—it's a fantastic experience!
