Must Do Tour in Charleston - We booked a last minute Easter weekend walking tour with 3 adults, 2 teens, + a child, and even though it was short notice, the Pineapple Tour team accommodated us. Ben was fantastic! We learned so much about the history of Charleston, had lots of laughs, & he even suggested great lunch options for after our tour! If you’re in town, we highly suggest booking any of the incredible tours Pineapple has to offer!

A Charming Charleston Tour - Our girl’s trip was off to the perfect start thanks to this informative and entertaining view of Charleston. The city was brought to life thanks to our charming guide, Benjamin. We learned and laughed our way throughout this delightful morning and encourage anyone interested in an in-depth look at a consequential part of our country’s history to book it with Ben!

Awesome Walking Tour - Benjamin was awesome! My wife and I love history and this tour exceeded our expectations which were already high! Our guide is born and raised in Charleston and did an outstanding job explaining the history of this awesome city in a very thorough and immersive way. We learned a lot while our guide kept it fun and interesting. 10/10 would recommend and wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Amazing tour - We had a wonderful Two hour tour, and our guide had a wealth of information. He dressed the part as he walked us through the history of pirates not only in Charleston, but along the coast. He was able to answer any question we possibly could have, but also provided a vast amount of information based on the research he has done over the past 16 or so years. Make sure you are wearing walking shoes, and clothing sufficient for the weather. This tour is well worth you time and money.
