I did this tour with Bill and it was one of the best tours I've been on. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and kept things entertaining. He was also very considerate about finding shade to stop in as it was a very humid morning. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful walking tour with Steve. He told us his family had lived in the area for many generations (several hundred years) and his incredible life experience made for an extremely interesting tour. Steve actually extended the tour an additional 1/2 hour because he was overflowing with interesting info to share with us. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is visiting Charleston for the first time.

Jim Gresham was an exceptional tour guide. He is knowledgeable and passionate about all things Charleston - the architecture, the history, the people. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning - with an interesting and entertaining walk through the historic district. Then we were hungry for lunch!
