So Much Fun; It Was Like an Outdoor Escape Room Experience - This was another wonderful experience with Native Charleston Tours. This is an interactive tour, where we were looking for clues and reporting back via text to our "guide" that made sure we were on the right track. We provided photos in some cases in order to move on in certain cases. We started at the Powder Magazine for the first clue and our clipboard of instructions/clues. We had so much fun; it was like an outdoor Escape Room. Please be sure when you're done to take the time to visit the Magazine museum; we especially loved the mockup of "Old Charleston" city. The museum folks are very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with us. We heard rumors that another different scavenger hunt is being developed. Can't wait!

Great tour for young children! - We came to Charleston with our four young children, so this was the perfect tour for us. It was a great way to see the city and experience the history in a way that suited our children! We had fun looking for all the historical facts and taking photos along the way! We highly recommend this for families.

Self-guided tour through the streets of historic Charleston! - My wife and I did the self guided pirate escape while in Charleston and loved it. We felt it was a more than fair value and in particular found the Powder Magazine to be really interesting. We learned a lot about historical Charleston and took some cool photos along the way. 300 year old homes, secret alleyways, and pirate history along the way. 5/5 would recommend! They said a new one is coming out soon and we will definitely try that when back in town.

Great walking tour - This was a great family adventure tour. The clues help you navigate around Charleston’s historic district plus learn its history. A bonus was that you text photos of you finds along the way to the tour company so it helps you to document tour trip as well, which I loved. I highly recommend this tour.

Fun walking tour - Great fun walking tour of old Charleston hunting for items listed on guide. This was a family excursion including three generations. The tour took us about 1 1/2 hours but we stopped a couple of places along the way. The tour was a little under four miles. Recommend

Very nice adventure - I wish we had received a certificate or sticker to advertise we completed the tasks. An acknowledgement would have been nice.
