Additional Information

I guarantee you’ll gain more historical insights on this excursion than any other available in the vicinity. I will impart knowledge you didn’t have before, and question what you believe to be true.

Let’s begin by identifying your interests and expectations about history. Your preferences will steer the direction of our conversation.

My approach is narrational, involving a multitude of queries to stimulate dialogue. I will guide you through Charleston’s timeline in an amusing, engaging, and occasionally cheeky style.

We will embark our journey at Waterfront Park and make our way south to the renowned Charleston battery. Expect to see awe-inspiring locations and partake in absorbing talks about the vibrant history of the early Charles Towne fort.

Upon completion, we’ll find ourselves near our start point, now equipped with the most rewarding memento from your trip – Wisdom.

Historical Fun - Such a wonderful historical and fun tour! Cooper was very knowledgeable and enjoyable as our tour guide. We heard about history not in textbooks which was great. I loved the “real” history of the city. Our group was also very fun.

Charleston walking tour - Amy Tankersley was amazing! She obviously knew the history of Charleston very well and shared a great deal of information on the city and its origins. The walk through downtown was beautiful and the storytelling was even better. Thanks for a great adventure!
