Tim puts on an amazing tour. We did the Pirates and Prohibition tour with him the night before and this tour was completely different. Covers a different area of the city and different content. Learned lots about the history of Charleston and saw parts of the city we would not otherwise have seen. He is a multi-generation Charlestonian who really knows the city. Just my spouse and I on the private tour. Completely worth it and a great experience.

Timothy was outstanding. Always speaking loud and clear, he was so impressive with his knowledge and ability to present that knowledge. Highly recommend his tour.
