Amaz - This is truly how you should start downtown Charleston!! Al is the best tour guide in the city. I went on multiple tours, no one was able to compare to Al’s knowledge, and finesse is his delivery of the history of the city. After Al’s tour I found myself actually telling people about the history of Charleston. A must do if are touring!!! Hopefully you have the pleasure of having Al as your tour guide to make it extra special.

Al is a fantastic tour guide! - Al was very informative and friendly. I really enjoyed all the details he pointed out that you couldn’t know without someone showing you. He also made sure to stop in shady areas to keep us out of the hot sun!
