Great insight to a beautiful city - This is a great tour for anyone interested in the history of Charleston. Al did a wonderful job giving more insight to this beautiful city. We walked around Meeting street, went inside a couple of churches, a cemetery and down to Rainbow Row while Al talked about the history of the buildings and answered questions. It took a little over 2 hours so I recommend comfortable walking shoes.
