Jonathan was very congenial and really made the history of the city very interesting. The stories of the people who influenced the early days of Charleston were enjoyable. The walk was long, but slow and easy. No problem for us seniors.

Jonathan is an excellent guide, weaving history into stories which make one more likely to remember the information! He includes history of Charleston's beginnings, Revolutionary and Civil War periods and current day items of note. We highly recommend taking one of Jonathan's tours, as Bad Ass Women is a great tour too!
