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.

Our tour guide Steve was excellent! He gave us so much information we could see the history in our minds..I would recommend to everyone who visits Charleston!

With Captain Jim as our guide, we discovered beautiful tucked-away gardens and heard interesting stories about life in Charleston, past and present. It was a great complement to traditional tours that highlight key historic sites. This one gives a glimpse of what it might be like to live in these homes at different points in history. Captain Jim’s passion for history and his love of Charleston is contagious. We very much enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.

Captain Jim knows his stuff and knows how to convey it in a relaxed and interesting presentation. Not too hurried but fills all of the time allotted.
