Educational and interesting - Evan was fantastic he called and texted about leaving earlier as a possibility. When we met up, we were surprised and ecstatic that we WERE the group
He took us places most likely not on the agenda and always introduced us Charleston horticulture
Great walk and insightful guide!

Very Accommodating and Educational Tour in the Evening Hours - Evans was awesome. We arrived in Charleston in the evening and reached out. He made arrangements to meet us for a late night tour. The city is beautiful at night. The Tour was only my wife and I and we enjoyed the full attention of our guide.
Evans was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. Highly recommend taking this, or any tour, with Evans.
