Great Walking Tour of Historic Charleston - Our tour guide Amy was very friendly, knowledgeable and well prepared. Amy had great visual ads, including a home made model of old Charleston and a 3D model of the city wall.. We learned a great deal about the history of this cool city. Great experience and value for our money. Well done Amy, we had a great time. Certainly recommend to other tourists.

An absolutely delightful experience! - Our tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Charleston. Our tour guide, Al, knew his stuff! Not only was he informative, he was very kind and friendly to the group. We walked away learning so much about a new city, which was so empowering. I would recommend this trip to any friend coming to town.

Choose wisely - Charleston is a historic jewel of a city so we thought that this tour would be fun and a great way to see some of the sites. Our guide, Al, made it completely about himself. He “power walked” the entire time making if impossible for some people to keep up. He just didn’t care if they were with him while he talked. Wish I could recommend but go with someone else.
