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.

Jim was a fount of information and enthusiasm for his subject . Little know facts, alleys and residences coupled w historical background and context; plus his gift of language, his telling of a story or his turning of a phrase made the 2 hour trip that more delightful .

Evans was our tour guide and he was really incredible. We learned a lot about the history of the city and its homes. We saw some beautiful homes and gardens. My favorite bit was learning about Robert Smalls and his place in the Civil War. This is a fantastic way to learn about this precious city.
