Went with a larger group, and despite the heat and humidity Tim's energy never faltered. He was very knowledgable about Charleston and it's history. Was fun and was very considerate of our group and spent more time explaining the parts he thought we would be more interested in. The tour did go over time a bit, but Tim ended it near a couple pubs he recommended so that we were able to grab lunch quickly after

Tim’s tour was awesome. We learned so much about Charleston and had a great time while doing so. Tim’s knowledge of his hometown is truly impressive - only to be matched by his knowledge of American history. I highly recommend this tour!
