St Patrick's Day drive through Charleston - Our driver was very helpful, starting with a last-minute change of plans regarding our pickup location, which he graciously accommodated. He was very knowledgeable, and drove very precisely and carefully in a city known for somewhat narrow streets and alleys (all this on St. Patrick's Day!) One of the best parts was when he provided Civil War era photographs of many of the current buildings which provided a rare insight into how they looked then, compared to the present day.

Worth every penny, fantastic! - Jeff was a wonderful guide. He gave us the history of the city, its people and took us to places we didn’t even know were here . Very comprehensive, nice pace. We couldn’t have walked all of it in a day. Highly recommend this, especially for first time visitors!

Amazing Private Tour of Charleston! - Jeff provided interesting historical knowledge about Charleston. He took us to some hidden gems that we would not have seen on other tours. Enjoyed getting out and walking on the Battery, taking photos of Rainbow Row, the Pineapple Fountain, and seeing the beautiful mansions and Citadel. He showed us photos of before and after for historical buildings. We highly recommend this tour to those visiting or who live in Charleston.

Seeing Charleston up close - Jeff was right on time and so friendly. He took us up close to all of the places we wanted to go in the city and more. He had old photos and history of the city that transported us through time. We asked to make a photo stop and he was great about allowing us to do that. Jeff is friendly and put us at ease right away. I’ve been to Charleston before but after our time with Jeff I feel like I know the city. We had a great time! The privacy was great and I would book Jeff again especially if I bring folks with me to Charleston that have never been before. Thanks for the great time Jeff!
