Friendly, knowledgeable tour guide - Our your guide, Jeff, was so friendly and not only asked where everyone was from, but remembered it and mentioned it if it came up somehow during the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and I appreciate that the tour doesn't shy away from the dark parts of Charleston's past (major slave port). I highly recommend this tour!

Private tour with Page - We arranged this tour…and my husband and I ended up being the only couple on the tour! Felt like we had a private tour with our guide Page. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We appreciated the time she spent with us.
