What You’ll Experience

Belladina's Pizzeria of Greenville

This is our personal favorite lunch spot in the entire city. Thick meatballs with a topping of cheese, served piping hot, are absolutely delicious. Their all-meat Potenza is also delicous, and they are willing to give you a sample of their food. They are so in-demand that we cannot always go there, so this part of the tour is optional, but if you are lucky you will have an excellent meal there in addition to the rest of the tour. It's an unforgettable experience.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

River Street Sweets

River Street Sweets a huge variety of candy, pasteries, and even gelato. It is a huge part of our tour because you can sample both pralenes and also gelato here. Other treats include chocolate coated marshmallows, and lunchboxes filled with candy. It's a great time, especially for younger guests.

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Poppington's Gourmet Popcorn

At Sir Poppington's, they pop fresh every morning. One of the longest-running snack stores in the entire Greenville area, they have a unique flavor for you. We love the bacon and chedder popcorn, but maybe you would prefer the candy-coated fruit punch? There are even unique mixes made just for certain cities, like Chicago. You've never seen a selection of popcorn like this.

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Fireforge Crafted Beer (Pass By)

As the most popular brewery in the downtown Greenville area, Fireforge has a reputation to maintain. Many of their beers have won awards, including the light American Lager, Game Time Decision. Light, dark, malty, sour, it's all here somewhere. For those who want to try something different, they even have coffee-flavored drinks and their high alcohol "Winter Warmer". While there are some non-alchoholic options, this is geared towards beer fans, you may want to ask for a different location if that doesn't work for you. This portion of the tour is not available on Mondays, as they are closed and we can't do anything about that. Fireforge is only available at the 4 PM time, except on the weekends when they have additional hours (open at 11:30). Please book at those times.

Savannah Bee Company

Honey and honey accessories, that's what they do at Savannah Bee Company. Every day they offer samples from multiple products, but mainly, from honey. All of their products are responsibly harvested and are a premium offering on the market. They even have cosmetic samples you can check out as well. This portion of the tour has limited availability on Sundays.

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Greenville Beer Exchange

Incredible selection, great atmosphere. The Greenville Beer Exchange has over 200 beers, wines, ciders, ales, meads, and even sakes. Their all-wood bar in the back has classic video games as well as a cool pinball machine. It has the selection of a warehouse store, with the charm of a neighborhood bar. While we won't be getting a large drink here, every small sample they offer is absolutely delicious. This portion of the tour has limited availability on Sundays.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Byrd's Famous Cookies - Greenville

If you want an incredible selection, that's Byrd's. They have the typical chocolate chip, of course, but also crazier flavors like Lime Cooler and Scotch Oatmeal. Byrd's entire business runs on offering samples to guests like you, so they are more than happy to have us. The store itself is very cool, as they even have an awesome "cookie truck" display. It really feels like a place you would visit as a kid.

5 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Downtown Greenville Sc

A large part of your tour is the "Customization" part. We do a massive number of tours, so we expect that you will want to hear a bit from another tour. These include; -History, we know all about the rich textile village that Greenville used to be. Or perhaps you want to hear about the Civil Rights Movement here? We know a huge amount of info on this. -Perhaps art works for you, we can show you the absolute best exhibits in the city, or see some outdoor murals/paintings. -Haunted tours were the first ones we ever did. Greenville has a rich history of hauntings from urban legends of the Reedy River to the creepy but beautiful Springwood Cemetery. -Any tour that you want can be mixed in. Pets, things to do for kids, and Relocation info are all things we do in other tours. Just tell us what you are looking for. -There are also other places that offer samples like Rocket Fizz. If you want food all the way through, tell us. It's just a bit of a walk to get there.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Insomnia Cookies

Staying up until 2 AM most days, Insomnia also has more than just cookies. They offer free samples of their ice cream all day. If you are a real night owl, then this place is perfect for you. Ocassionally, they offer limited samples of their cookies which are baked up hot and fresh. All of this takes place in the Camperdown area, which is beautiful in and of itself.
