No real one item that stood out. The whole tour was excellent. Our guide even provided some suggestions for me to follow up with.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour guided by Dennis. As first time visitors to Charleston from Seattle we covered a lot of significant local historical information, we were in awe of the amazing buildings and homes of Charleston and enjoyed learning from Dennis as he welcomed our questions and bantered with the locals during the 2 hour tour. After the tour we drove back through the area to revisit some our our favorites and purchased a basket from Mildred a Gullah basket maker - A Delightful Time, Thank You Dennis!
