Charleston's Hidden Alleyways & Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour

Charleston's Hidden Alleyways & Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour

Overview

Explore some of Charleston's enchanting alleyways and historic sites on this small group, 2-hour walking tour. With our small group tours, you are guaranteed a more intimate and up-close experience. Charleston's alleyways are fortunately located within the popular historic district which allows us to include some well known points of interest and go a little "off the beaten path” while exploring the history and beauty of Charleston's enchanting alleyways. Generally, we include between four to six different alleyways/passages as well as popular points of interest like Rainbow Row and of course, tons of history! These pedestrian passageways are often overlooked, but walking along these cobbled paths is an opportunity to appreciate Charleston's rich history and hidden, more intimate charms.

Love of history and guides ability to explain in a meaningful, understandable way. Architecture and historical significance of the structures was clearly explained.

Booked the Hidden Alleyway's tour with Capt. Jim because we wanted something a little different than the traditional tour; and it was fantastic! Jim is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about Charleston and kept the tour fun and interesting. Got to see several gardens and pathways that most tours know nothing about! highly Recommended!

Our tour guide Captain Jim had an amazing amount of historical knowledge about Charleston. He is a great story-teller that added flavor to the historical facts. We would certainly request Capt Jim for any future tours
