Don’t miss this tour!! - Jeff is a wealth of fascinating information! This was our first trip to Charleston so we thought this would be a good overview. We didn’t whiz by places….he would pause at the curb for us to get a good look or take pictures. We saw all the major sites..in comfort lol & many more we didn’t know about. This tour was worth every penny & we highly recommend!!!

Best Tour in Charleston - A 2 hour Charleston tour with Jeff is the best money you will spend. Jeff is a great host and has a wealth of knowledge on the history of Charleston. It was like a walk through Charleston from the first settlers, through the Revolutionary War, then the Civil war and the progress to today. Amazing to see the old homes and churches and understanding the strict architectural control the City has to maintain the history. Thanks for the great tour Jeff.

Historic Overview of Charleston, SC - Jeff gave a very informative 2 hour tour. He was prompt in the pickup at our hotel. Jeff was clearly knowledgeable in Charleston, SC and used several old photos to contrast then and now sites in the historic district. Highly recommend tour! I wish he had an option for an additional 1/2 hour or so as the time went by quickly.
