MUST DO in Charleston! - My family is visiting for Spring Break and originally were booked with another walking tour, but the guide was sick and we were referred to Old Walled. From the first second we arrived, our tour guide, Al, was amazing! He was super welcoming and it was clear he has a deep passion for the history of Charleston. We walked around the entirety of the original city, Al shared many pieces of fascinating history that made the city and the buildings come alive. He also really cared about getting to know us and geared the tour toward the groups interests! I would highly recommend and say this is a MUST DO, because you will have a much deeper appreciation for Charleston and the history that surrounds the city. Make sure you request Al, he made the tour so special!

Amazing tour with an amazing guide - Alfreds knowledge and experience is definitely a treat that I recommend to everyone. He's not only exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of Charleston but he's funny and charismatic as well! Alfred is definitely the guide you want to have when it's your first time in Charleston. He will make you fall in love with this Holy City as he did us as well!
