Adam rocks! - We took this tour the last day of our visit. I was a little worried that we would be hearing the same stories we already had on our other tours. I shouldn't have been worried! Adam took us to locations that were in the older section of Charleston and all the stories were new and fun to hear. We thoroughly enjoyed his grasp of history and that he mixed some humor in his discussions also! We visited the theater and got to go inside which was another plus. Thanks for the excellent tour Adam! We ate lunch at the Blind Tiger per your recommendation and it was perfect!
I have already recommended you to a friend.
Thanks for the history.

Highly recommend this tour with Adam - Our group very much enjoyed this history tour with Adam. We had previously done the Ghost Tour with Adam and this tour was just as good. Adam is very knowledgeable of Charleston history and has very interesting facts and stories. The walking pace was just right. 5 stars from our group.

BOOK WITH ADAM! - Adam's knowledge of the history of Charleston combined with his enlightening stories make this an experience you do not want to miss! We liked him SO much that we did both the Ghost tour and the history tour. Because he purposefully keeps his groups small. it gives everyone a chance to participate and ask questions.

Excellent tour - Very Informative! - Due to cancellations (it was cold and rainy to start) we were the only people on our tour! Our guide, Adam, did an excellent job and shared a number of interesting stories and facts about the history of Charleston. We covered the key historical landmarks and even went down some alleyways you would have not know existed!!! Overall it was an excellent tour and a great job by Adam.

Best guide!! - He is the absolute best!! We did a ghost tour the night before through Ghost City Tours and really wish we would have had Adam instead (Adam also does a ghost tour so I would 1000% recommend booking with Adam over them) ! He was amazing and turned our trip around. There was a group of 9 of us which can be hard to handle and all of us just loved him! It was raining so he was also flexible and took us in a few buildings to avoid getting wet. Thank you Adam for the wonderful stories and two hours of fun. You made history very enjoyable!
