As a native of Charleston Timothy is one of the top tour guides given his historical knowledge and ability to communicate it in a meaningful way. We definitely would use his services again and would recommend him highly.

Our guide, a native Charlestonian, led us through the city’s charming streets, sharing stories and insights that brought Charleston’s rich history to life. We explored iconic landmarks such as Rainbow Row, the Battery, and St. Michael’s Church, each accompanied by anecdotes that deepened our appreciation for the city’s heritage. The personalized nature of the tour allowed us to delve into specific areas of interest, making the experience both engaging and informative. I highly recommend Timothy and his tour to anyone seeking an in-depth and personalized exploration of Charleston’s historic treasures!
