This tour was holiday theme with the Edmondston Alston house as a stop which was wonderfully decorated and the house tour guides relayed very interesting facts about the home. The library was a special treat! Our Bulldog guide was Keith Kirkland and as a long time Charleston resident he had many great facts about practically every building and residence. This was our second tour of this type in CHS over the years and we all agreed there is always more to learn and enjoy. Do it!

Boyd from Bulldog Tours was so knowledgable and made the tour super engaging. We had a wonderful morning strolling through living history. Cannot recommend this company enough if you are in Charleston.
