Great to see and learn Charleston on foot! - We took the walking tour with Benjamin and he was very knowledgeable of historic Charleston at the battery. It was worth the time and price to learn more and see more on foot and get to know Charleston. And it was the just long enough without being too long. Lots of shade and beautiful sights on a hot Charleston day.

Fantastic tour - Our guide was very personable, funny, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We got an impressive but not overwhelming amount of pertinent info and all of our questions were answered. The tour was just the right amount of time and we even got some lunch recommendations too.

Pearsonable Walking Tour You can't Miss! - Awesome walking tour. Neil has his masters in history and does not disappoint! Answered all our dumb questions with true love of history! Very personable without a script. Highly recommend. We also did another different walking tour with them and had Ben. He was a hoot! A local with lots of information which again is not scripted. A True southern man that had us laughing with his soutern sense of humor.
