This was an incredible tour! Professor Damon Fordham Was incredibly knowledgeable and really made the stories come to life. It was one of the highlights of our time in Charleston. Well worth the cost. Thanks for the tour!

Our guide Damon was a born storyteller. I wanted the tour to last 2 more hours. What a great day we had!. Charleston is now a place that lives in our hearts.

Damon Fordham researches, writes, and lives this stuff. Excellent history and so well told. This should be on your Charleston “must do” list.

Damon was a profound story teller. He was the best your guide that I have ever experienced. He had not only done research, but wrote books on the history. As a professor, I would love to be one of his students. He was a wealth of knowledge and kept us captivated. I highly recommend this tour.

Damon is an engaging story teller, with an interesting perspective. We enjoyed hearing about African American contributions to Charleston in particular, and their influence on US culture in general. Easy walk with lots of stops.

He told us stories you normally don’t hear about Charleston’s African-American residents from the beginning of slavery through Reconstruction and Jim Crow. He brought the stories to life. Some of it was uncomfortable to hear but all of it was enlightening. My friend and I would highly recommend this two hour walking tour.

Mr Fordham's depth of knowledge and engaging presentation style made this tour a highlight of our South Carolina trip. We learned about the history that's often withheld. Mr. Fordham was also open and very personable, it was a privilege to spend an afternoon with him.

Fascinating history, super professional presentation. Damon is a fact nerd in the best possible way, and his passion for Black history is inspiring.
