Greenville History Tours - Taylors, South Carolina

Our dear friend came to town and since we have done walking tours with Greenville History tours before, I thought let’s do the Chef’s tour! I’m so glad we did! It was excellent! The food was phenomenal and John did a great job of providing history about Greenville in between the restaurants. I highly recommend taking this tour! When other people come visit - we would do it again. We are going to check out the other food tours he offers!

My wife and I had a fantastic time on our food tour. Exceeded expectations and it's not like our expectations were all that low. John clearly has a passion for food, history and the city of Greenville. As a native to Greenville, I learned MANY new facts that I hadn't known before. Even having been to all of the restaurants we visited, John made the experience unique and enjoyable anyway.

I would not hesitate to send anyone his way and I will certainly give his History Tour a try as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I’ve taken many food tours and this one was THE BEST !! Excellent food, Excellent company, Excellent tour !! Food was fantastic and the history was fun and interesting ! I did the Tuesday evening tour, We received a full plate and cocktail pairing with each stop. The cuisine was high-end and each chef spoke about their dish and beverage pairing. I would and will revisit this tour again and again !!

John Nolan is a friendly and informative guide. His knowledge and passion for the history and architecture of Greenville
are a welcome addition to the Culinary Tour. The food included a variety of delicious entrees and beverages; venison bolognese, shrimp & grits, and a sweet potato waffle w/ fried chicken. This time dinner concluded with a dessert and beverage of choice at Coffee Underground. This is the third time I've taken the tour and each time it's different and enjoyable. It's well worth your time and money.

John Nolan is truly exceptional. He has clearly done his homework and has an impressive knowledge of Greenville. The photos and artifacts he shared added much depth to the experience. John goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great time, taking the time to answer all of our questions. We’re already looking forward to future tours with him!

My wife and I enjoyed so much the At the Chef’s Table Culinary Tour which we took last week and this time we took the Breakfast Tour. Both tours were great! You get to visit popular local restaurants in one tour. Our guide, John, gives an introduction to the history of Greenville and that makes it even better. Next, I would like to take the BBQ tour.

John Nolan loves history, loves Greenville and loves connecting people to both of them! If you're brand new or just passing through - or if you've been in this beautiful place for decades (like us!) - you will appreciate the wealth of information that John will bring to life for you. I've been on 3 of John's tours, and I can't wait for more!

I have done two coffee tours with John now, and both of them were excellent! He is very knowledgeable, is always updating his historical and coffee-science information, has great recommendations, and is very fun to be around. The tour is great value for your money as well. I did one tour with a bachelorette group and one with my boyfriend, and all of us felt very welcomed and our excited, coffee lover energy was matched. I highly recommend GVL history tours!
