We met Dustin at the starting point of the tour on a cold but bright day. We were the only ones on the tour so effectively had a private tour of the historical part of Charleston. Dustin was extremely knowledgable about the history of the city and the homes/architecture of the area. We walked mainly through the historic district and around the Battery area by the sea. Dustin tells some great stories and has a great sense of humour so the tour went very quickly. He also gave us some tips on where else to go during our stay and restaurant options. A great introduction to Charleston.

It was okay. I thought the use of curse words was unprofessional. Also a little too theatrical/ wordy would have preferred more history and facts about the city and establishment of it. Less talk more walking.
