The walking tour of Charleston is a must especially if you are visiting for a short time. The history of the city, the architecture, places of interest are all amazing. Our guide, Jim demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of the city, presented chronologically and with great clarity and heart. Questions were encouraged and answered with unbelievable insight. Luckily the weather cooperated resulting in a very informative and extremely enjoyable two hour tour for our group of 8. A must do!

Bill's knowledge of the city and homes were incredible. The streets were a bit icy, but he helped us around very safely. I only had that day and all other tours didn't go, so he made my day. He answered all my questions and always added more which made it even more interesting. I highly recommend him.

Bill was our intrepid leader through downtown Charleston and what an enjoyable two hours. The knowledge and information was fantastic and the insight into this beautiful town was second to none. We had our 11 year old son with us and Bill made sure that he was included and entertained. Thanks Bill and hope to get back to Charleston one day.
