The walking tour was a wonderful experience! There were only 2 of us on our tour and Dennis did a fabulous job making it tailored to our interests. We learned so much and enjoyed many laughs along the way. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Low Country Walking Tours does a great job. This was our second time. We took the downtown tour on a Saturday. The meeting point was easy to find and our guide was waiting. The group was small so there was no crowding. Our guide did a great job of pointing out sites and explaining the history of Charleston. The pace was comfortable and we finished exactly on time. I highly recommend.

Steve Bailey presented a TON of history about his hometown of Charleston in breezy, fun, engaging manner. He made it looks easy!! We thoroughly enjoyed his tour, and likewise he genuinely enjoyed interacting with this tour group. This is 2nd tour we have done with Lowcountry Walking Tours and we will choose you again.
