Our guide, Gia, was just wonderful. She took us to 5 great places and she had arranged everything ahead of time perfectly. The food and drinks were well selected with great variety. We also appreciated Gia’s knowledge of Charleston history. She taught us really interesting facts about the early colonization, the different religious groups who emigrated from Europe, as well as some important contributors made by African Americans and women over the last 300 years. All in all, a wonderful experience.
