Bruce gave a fascinating tour which showed an intimate local knowledge including several shortcuts through local alleys where he played as a child. He not only knew the history and architecture of buildings throughout the old town of Charleston but also knew the families who had lived in each home and gave interesting anecdotes and stories about them. We highly recommend this walking tour.
