Discover Charleston's heart and soul as you walk through the picturesque streets and quaint alleyways of Charleston’s Historic District.

We had a lovely morning learning about Charleston on our walking tour with Tim. We were so impressed by his vast historical knowledge, and he has had such an interesting life full of experiences and stories. He mentioned he is working on a new tour on pirates, patriots, and prohibition - we would love to take that on our next trip to Charleston!
