Historical walking tour - Informative and fun tour with Adam. He is a local historian and had lots of great stories about landmarks we visited. Although the weather was brutally hot, the tour flew by. Great job!

An Absolutely Great Experience! - We have done a number of guided tours through the US and Europe and we believe that this tour was one of the very best. Adam was very knowledgeable, very entertaining, and very professional. He was informative but shifted to our interests and answered our questions rather than simply following a formatted set plan. His knowledge of both the geography of Charleston and her history was amazing. We could not recommend any tour more than his. If you are looking to get an introduction to the city and her history, or if, like us, you are at a bit more advanced level this tour fits all needs. It was wonderful.

THE best Charleston history tour! - A history tour with Adam is a must when you visit Charleston. His storytelling is chock full of history, anecdotes and fun details that bring you back to Charleston’s early days. We had so much fun with Adam and appreciate how he brought Charleston history to life. We learned how Charleston history is US history. As a bonus, he fave us the best recommendations for lunch and dinner. We plan to come back and sign up for his cemetery tour. Thank you Adam!
