The tour group was so large that we had trouble hearing out guide. So it felt like we just walked for 2 hours and didn't really learn that much.

This tour has a limit of 20 guests per tour guide which is the standard across all walking tour companies in Charleston. We do offer small group tours as well and would like to offer you complimentary tickets if you are still in town or the next time you visit. Please contact us directly to schedule.

I highly recommend this tour. We took it the second day we were in Charleston. Our tour guide, Dennis, was amazing. He was not only knowledgeable but made the tour fun which wasn’t easy since it rained during the entire tour. When the tour started I told my husband that I probably wouldn’t last the two hours since I was tired of being wet as it had rained the entire day before and I was tired from all the walking we did on the 1st day. Dennis made the two hours fly by. Before I knew it, the tour was over and we felt we got a great understanding of Charleston’s history and culture.
