Dennis did a great job providing interesting information about the historic district of Charleston. It was a hot day but Dennis found some shady areas and a couple of indoor locations to give us some relief. It was obvious that he is passionate about the history of Charleston.

My mother and I enjoyed ourselves greatly on our walking tour. There is so much great scenery and history to take in downtown Charleston, SC. We had Dennis Mardis, the best tour guide in my opinion- he was funny, charismatic, and very knowledgeable of the towns history. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves to appreciate a beautiful city and learn a little while doing so. I also got great pictures!

Our Guide, Dennis, was great. I liked his sense of humor and his ability to describe events in a timeline. We had a large group (20) and he had us navigating narrow sidewalks with ease.
