Billy was an awesome guide. He is not your typical retiree walking and talking about the town, but full of charm, knowledge, and has a true love for the city. We highly recommend this tour. He is very personable and is also easy on the eyes!

Parker's passion and knowledge came through in her conversational style; engaging, definitely not scripted. She did a great job.

Best walking tour in the city. Bill was patient, funny and super knowledgeable about charleston. He gave a very in depth and unbiased view of the history of the city. We had a great time and he even stuck around to give us recommendations after the tour was over. I would highly recommend
