“Interesting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2012

I've seen Charleston on my own more than a few times and decided it was time to add a bit of expertise to the adventure. Brian spoke non stop for several hours as we walked around the Battery. I have to admit that though I like history I don't have a good memory for it so when Brian used pronouns... More

“Learn the history of this beautiful city with a knowledgeable guide like Brian.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2012

We were the group of 8 that was late. Brian did wait for us, and we were so glad he did! His wealth of knowledge about historic Charleston kept us looking and enjoying every minute of the tour. If you love History, this is the tour to take. If you enjoy archeology, I believe Brian could tell you whatever you... More

Brian was a wealth of knowledge. We had a wonderful 2 hr. tour. My only complaint was that a group of 8 was late and we had to wait for them. Otherwise, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Brian! More

My wife and I took one of Brian's Charleston Sole tour back in Oct 2010. Brian was prompt, on time, and very courteous. There was about 9 of us on the tour. For the next 2 hours or so, Brian told us all about the history of Charleston. He is a wealth of information and has done a ton of... More

“Well Worth the Time & $$!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2012

My wife and I took Brian's tour with 4 or 5 other people. I took a liking to Brian right from the start. He is a very engaging and uplifting person. He also knows a LOT about Charleston, but I never got the feeling that I was hearing something that he had recited a million times and had himself lost... More
