Our tour guide was Capt. Jim Gresham and he was just Wonderful! His knowledge of Charleston history far exceeded the two hours we were given to tour. And I took the most Beautiful photos ever thanks to his expertise. He was also very helpful with great suggestions for places to eat.

I loved hearing about the history of the area and seeing it first hand. Dennis Mardis was our guide. Words cannot appropriately describe the incredible job Dennis did. He is an extremally knowledgeable guide, a wonderful speaker and he has a very appealing sense of humor. The tour was super interesting and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Dennis as your guide. Jeff, Neenah Wisconsin
