A great tour given by a superb guide

This was a culturally rich tour given by a true connoisseur of Charleston. Georgia, our guide, made it not just interesting but fun by sharing little anecdotes and stories with the group. We never felt rushed of slowed down either. This is altogether a great tour for those on limited visiting time but still wanting to get a fairly comprehensive overlook of this charming city.

Our guide's name was Ruth and she was fantastic. Great personality and her love of the city and knowledge of Charleston and southern history was fantastic. Highly recommend tour and if you can arrange for Ruth to be your tour guide you will be greatly rewarded.

Our tour guide was full of knowledge about local history from the earliest days to present. Nice walk through the historic streets and along the Battery.

I have been to Charleston many times, yet this was the first tour I have taken here. I thought that the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable; however, I wish more of that knowledge would have come through. I learned all sorts of new "tidbits" of information: Alleys, Fire Insurance Tags, etc. Unfortunately, I felt the info was absent a focus, and too scattered...many times we would hear "I just remembered..." Good because my wife and I already knew alot about the city; I would be cautious if this is your first time.

Our tour guide was wonderful... very knowledgeable about all things Charleston. She gave us interesting facts and history without resorting to any of the ghost stories, myths or local legends you get on other tours. We got out of the tourist hot spots and into the beautiful old neighborhoods. This is exactly the kind of tour we were looking for.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. This is worth the time and money. Especially for first timers in Charleston. It only takes a couple hours of your time and it is a great way to hit the hot spots and acclimate yourself to the city. Additionally, the tour guides are great resources for good restaurants and other attractions in town. I would recommend this tour early on in your endeavors to get familiar with Charleston.

Wear comfortable shoes

The tour was very enjoyable. My advice would be to wear closed to shoes as many of the sidewalks are uneven.
