This is the first time our teenagers have been to Charleston for a quick weekend away. Having done the horse and carriage tour before, I found this one better as we went slower and you could stop for pictures and closer looks. Lawrence was a great guide and provided a lot of history regarding the original settlement, the transitions from British to American, after the Revolutionary War, after the earthquake and fires, rebuilding after the Civil War and stock market crashes, and then the much more recent influx of money into the area. I was surprised how “new” this beautiful city was. This is a great tour to get a good overview of the historic area of downtown Charleston.
