I was recently on a tour of Sherman's March to the Sea. It was great - except for our tour of Charleston. If Jack Thomas is the best this city can offer, then I would suggest they get out of the tour guide business. He gave a rambling walking tour that made little sense, talking about things that were not... More

Found tour through groupon. Jack seemed knowledgeable about the events leading up to and durning the civil war in Charleston. Wrote a book that a company's the tour available for purchase.

Jack is very unique...I have never met anyone so informative and knowledgable... Jack takes you back in time as if you are buying a slave in old "Cha'lston"...at first y'all Yankees might think he is being racist, but it is to show you the politics, economics and mentality of the times. After his tour you will understand slavery better... I... More

As a knowledgeable student of the Civil War who was seeking information about Charleston in the Civil War, I found this tour to be pitiful and below the accepted standard. It astounds me that anyone provides positive reviews of this so-called "guide". I attended Jack's tour as part of a group and found that he tends to talk on and... More

I booked this tour for myself and a visiting friend who loves history. We had Jeff for a guide and he was very knowledgeable. I really am not interested in history, but found myself really enjoying the tour and information he provided. It lasted 2 hours and it also doubled as a nice walking tour of all the beautiful downtown... More

My husband I moved to Charleston a couple of years ago and have started doing the be in tourist in your own town thing. I bought this tour and it was fantastic. The knowledge of civil war history and Charleston's role in the war was amazing. Our tour guide also had old photo's that he showed us as we walked... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking the Civil War walking tour. I don't think we had Jack Thomson giving the tour, but his replacement did an outstanding job describing the history and details of Charleston during the Civil War. I'm a bit of a history buff, but was pleased to hear many more facts and pieces of... More

As always the tour is a lot about the guide. While it is titled Jack Thompson's civil war tour, we didn't get Jack about whom most of the reviews ae written. We had someone else, he was fine but it should be retitled as Jack Thompson's or substitue civil war tour. The tour was advertised as two hours but went... More

Jack Thompson was a very informative and knowledgeable historian that made our trip a wonderful experience. We recommend that if take any tour this should be the one take. My wife and I are from Connecticut and we thought his personality and his approach made us feel that his tour was tailor made to the people on his tour. He... More
