Excellent Tour - I learned a lot of historical information from our guide, Franklin Williams. It was my third visit to Charleston & the first time I heard the information Mr. Williams shared. I highly recommend you add the tour to your activities while in Charleston. I look forward to reading some of the books Mr. Williams recommends. I hope Mr. Williams will continue to educate through social media platforms for those who may not have the opportunity to visit Charleston. Thanks again Mr. Williams.

Simply amazing and very informative... - The tour was amazing! I learned so much within 2 hours than I had in years. It was so refreshing to hear the cake of the story and not just the icing. I highly recommend this tour, and I cannot wait to read the recommended books. This tour was a wonderful end to our vacation. Stay informed by booking this tour! 😊

Excellent - Excellent tour filled with great information and history. Frank was engaging and allowed my family to see and learn so much more about Charleston than what is presented in the pretty tourism picture. I highly recommend the tour.

Learn about the people who literally “built” this city. - This was my 2nd tour with Frank. He’s professional, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the African American history of Charleston. I highly recommend everyone take his tour. I took the “morning walk” tour last year and the riding tour this time. Preferred the walking tour if the heat isn’t a deterrent. But both great!

Highly recommend Franklin’s tour - The Other Charleston is an appropriately named tour. We cannot speak highly enough about this guided tour by Franklin. He is incredibly knowledgeable. He shares his knowledge about the History of Charleston that is not covered in other tours. Enlightening and informative, particularly to us as adults born in other countries. Highly recommend.

Frankly the Best! - It is rare in a city that an option for a tour where the story behind the story is provided. Franklin schooled us about the history of Charleston as we walked and drove the city streets. Unscripted he plays off the energy of the group and organically tailors the experience uniquely to each group. When he says,“ask questions”, my advice is to ask questions because he truly makes it interactive journey.

Paradigm shift! - Frank was professional , knowledgeable, funny but above all, thought provoking and passionate in his mission to provide the Real story of the enslaved of Charleston. His tour takes you off the white-washed path of the carriage tours onto the pavement of the neighborhoods, homes, backyards of the people who really Built Charleston. It changed me. Well Done Frank and Thank you.

Expand your knowledge with Frank - Frankly Charleston Tours & Sightseeing made my birthday! I highly suggest booking a tour if you want to know about "the other Charleston!" The knowledge and wisdom he shared was next level. I need a Part 2 because I'm sure he had more he wanted to share with us.

Exceeded Our Expectations! - This tour exceeded all our expectations! It was our first visit to Charleston and we wanted to make sure that we experienced an accurate telling of history. Frank was an incredible tour guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly, encouraged our questions and comments. He even had a list of suggested reading if you get the bug to learn more about "Confederate Disneyland". It is clear that Frank loves learning and is always expanding his knowledge and adding to the tour. We would absolutely recommend this tour. You won't be sorry!
