Wendy was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and fun. She clearly enjoys what she does and it comes through on her enthusiasm. I would definitely take another tour with her.

We had incredible walking tour with our guide Amy! She was very engaging and extremely knowledgeable about Charleston history. We couldn’t believe how much we learned in 2 hours! We would definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide Amy was fun and informative. The tour went throughout some areas I would not have discovered on my own. I would recommend

This was the highlight of our two-day visit to Charleston. Engaging, entertaining and informative, our tour guide (Scott) made the history of the city come alive for us. The pace was relaxed enough for walkers of all ages (even babies with strollers and elderly with canes). Scott candidly offered suggestions and critigues of other things to do (and eat/drink) as we passed near them. We feel much more knowledgeable about the pre-Colonial, Colonial, pre-war and Civil War eras affecting Charleston and thus, the south.One note: we had perfect weather with aided our enjoyment immensely. We might have enjoyed it less in the rain or during a super-crowded period. Right after Halloween seemed less crowded.

This was such a great way to walk the streets of Charleston and to learn so much of its rich history. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable, and I loved that he is a native born South Carolinan! Highly recommend!

Our group of four loved our walking tour of Charleston! Our tour guide, Amy, was very knowledgeable, both in the history of Charleston and the flora and fauna that we saw. She was very thorough in her descriptions and was able to answer all of our questions. She was also very funny. Highly recommend this tour!!
