Incredible historical knowledge! - Had a great two hour walking tour with Mark. He was entertaining and was very passionate about Charleston. He was a history buff and we really enjoyed the stories he shared with us. We learned a lot. It was hot and humid on the day of our tour but Mark did his best to find shade for us as we walked down streets and passageways.

Best Tour in Charleston - Wonderful tour with knowledge of people and places that are overlooked on typical tours! I enjoyed learning about pivotal figures of Charleston that are not mentioned in the general overview of the city.

A gem! - Our Tour guide Evans was absolutely the best. Very personable and a fountain of knowledge. He recounted bits of history about Charleston that textbooks omit and few people know. It was very interesting. It was extremely hot in Charleston on the day of the tour and he made sure to stop in the shade when telling us about the alley and its history. He went well beyond telling us about the hidden alleys, he told us a lot about unknown facts about the story of Charleston and its role in the story of America; Highly recommend.

This is a great tour to learn about Charleston. - David Collins was our guide and he did an awesome job. He is a retired lawyer turned tour guide and he is also a native Charlestonian. He knew a lot about the city's history. Well worth the time and money.
