Anne Middleton Herron provided one of the best walking tours ever!!!! Not only was she knowledgeable about the history of the city, but she was able to add lots of humor and anecdotal info. We visit Charleston often, have been on other tours, but this was by far the best. David and Gail More

My wife and I have done several walking tours in Charleston. It is a favorite city. On April 17 we signed up to walk with Anne Middleton Herron on her Charleston History Tour. She was excellent. She was very informative, and explained any questions we had. At the conclusion she provided iced lemonade at the Middleton family garden. Whe had... More

This past Saturday, my husband and I did a 2 hour walking tour with Anne Middleton. We got really lucky that we were the only people on the tour (rainy day and various special events going on in the city that weekend). Anne was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Her tour included an excellent mix of history, personal anecdotes and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours with Anne Middleton walking the streets and alleys of old Charleston. She engaged the young and old among us and as a 13th generation Charlestonian was a perfect guide. She does a good job of intertwining the facts with stories about the city and shows you the nooks and crannies you would miss on... More

I would go on this tour again, tomorrow! Ann was enthusiastic and was full of history and little known facts which made the tour more personal. My husband, a yankee, loved it. More

We had a walking tour of the Charleston Historical District led by Anne Middleton Herron, a 13th generation Charlestonian. She grew up in the district, and she filled the tour with all sorts of fascinating details about the area. It was a really fun, factually full two hour walk, including parts of Charleston that we never would have found on... More

Anne was a wonderful tour guide. She made this tour very personal. She grew up in Charleston and has a family history that dates back to the 1700's. It is very apparent that she loves her city and enjoys giving this tour. More

Our guide, Ann, is a 13th generation Charlestonian and added both knowledge and genuine character to our Charleston experience. Her excellent knowledge of the local history, plus anecdotes from her personal family history made this tour a real treat. Ending the tour with refreshments at her mom's B&B garden in the old walled city only iced the cake. This is... More

As a native South Carolinian, I have been to Charleston many, many times and have taken many, many different tours...and I must say this was for sure one of the best. As a native Charlestonian, Anne was a fabulous guide that gave great insight to both that past and present of Charleston. Unlike many tour guides that are obviously scripted,... More
