Book the alley tour with Kay! You won't regret it! - Kay was the best tour guide!! So so knowledgeable, was able to answer any question thrown her way. Positive and upbeat attitude with the best stories. Also seems to know everyone and the owners of many houses we passed by in the alley tour. Obviously very respected and adored in the Charleston community! 10/10 recommend.

You will be very happy with Kay as your guide - Kay was fabulous. She did some initial probing of our knowledge/interests and tailored her historical information based on what we would find interesting and educational. She is very friendly, funny, and very interesting. Any and all questions are welcome. The tour went by very quickly. Loved it!!!

Kay Abrams is the bomb! - Kay is the whole package. Fun, engaging, interesting and witty. Not only did she research what our group wanted, but also delivered in spades. I don’t believe there’s another person that knows as much about Charleston and its history than Kay!
