Charleston on a hot day - Wonderful experience with Al. His knowledge of the history of Charleston was outstanding. He was conscientious of the heat and often looked for us to have shade to stand.

Good historical overview - We had no trouble finding the meeting place and the tour began promptly. Our tour was on the morning of July 4th and our guide was dressed in period costume, which was fun. She also kept us in the shade, which was much appreciated. We learned several interesting facts about Charleston and Amy gave some restaurant recommendations as well.
