Our guide, Captain Jim, was personable and well informed. He has much experience doing Charleston tours, once had been a horse drawn carriage guide, so he brought a lot to our walk. His family has liven in the Charleston area for over 300 years so he certainly knew the area. I would think this should not be the first tour one takes of Charleston if a new visitor needs the big pictures of Charleston history, but super for a micro view, Not a difficult walk.
