An absolutely beautiful day for a tour and Evans did not disappoint. He showed us so many historical landmarks and provided so much information. I took pages and pages of notes to document my first trip to Charleston. I had no idea there was so much history here! I recommend this tour with Evans to any and all!

We had a great tour with Jim, who explained made the history of the city accessible and interesting. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about this historic city.

My family took the historical walking tour (ages 19-59) and really enjoyed it. The guide Jim, was great and very informative. He knew a lot about the city and pointed out many interesting historical and architectural facts. This was one of the first things we did and was a nice way to get our bearings in the city. The tour was also concise and let’s you learn a lot without taking the whole day. We would defiantly do another tour with Jim and Lowcountry tours.
