The Badass Broads Tour is a true gem! - The tour was terrific. I not only learned about several amazing women, but gained a ton of knowledge about Charleston as well. Two hours flew by. It is obvious how much Jonathan loves the city and sharing the stories of those who helped make it what is but don't get the recognition they deserve. He covers the good and the bad and the architecture. He was thoughtful and considerate of his guests (finding places to stop to talk which also had places to sit). This was my favorite activity in Charleston and well worth the ticket price. I will highly recommend his tours to everyone!!

JWalk tours are a favourite - All of the tour was great with lots of fun information. The passion of our tour guide Jonathan makes for a great tour. And to meet one of the house owners Mrs Pinky Peters was my favourite. I hope she is well. To start the tour you meet Jonathan at Bitty & Beau's, a little coffee shop that is well worth visiting.

Must do if you have limited time to explore the city - What a great informative tour! I am so happy that I was able to fit this into a busy family wedding weekend, because there was just so much history, and passion about the Charleston women who had a great effect on our country’s future, packed into two hours.

Great tour!! Informative and fun. - Highly recommend Jonathan Green’s tour Bad Ass Broads of Charleston! He brings to life the history of these remarkable women who influenced this area and far beyond. I have some new heroines! Jonathan also provides some interesting details about Charleston’s general history as well as some of the architecture on the walk.

Jonathan Green! Find Him! - Amazing! Came from Florida for Spring Break. Doesn't matter what age or gender, this is the best tour!!! I found this online, and didn't know what to expect, but what actually happened was more than I could ever imagine. This was the most realistic and proudest resident of Charleston, sharing the Baddest Broads of Charleston's history. Also, architectural history too..
