My wife and I visited Chareston for our anniversary weekend in late September. She chose Ed's tour based on good reviews here at Trip Advisor. I guess the best way to summarize it was that there were so many interesting questions and discussions in our group that the two-hour walking tour took three hours and ten minutes. It was a... more

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Ed is a very likable and engaging guy. You can tell he knows a lot about Charleston history and his delivery is relaxed and fun. I personally can have somewhat of a short attention span on tours but I found myself listening and learning the whole time, and time really flew by.... more

An unfortunate waste of time. It is true that Ed Grimball is a nice man and loves Charleston. He is friendly and willing to spend time with you and answer all of your questions. There were four of us who signed up for Mr. Grimball because of his #1 rating as a tour guide in Charleston. We took the tour... more

This was our first trip to Charleston and Ed's walking tour was just wonderful. He is someone who is passionate about Charleston and shares this passion with guests to his city. If there was one thing I would do again on our trip it is this tour. more

Ed's tour was the highlight of our first trip to Charleston. Sweet, talkative and funny, Ed proudly showed off his beloved city. I've probably taken 100 tours in my life in dozens of locations around the globe and this was one of the best. The pacing was just right. Ed spoke clearly and slowly and included his guests in the... more

Me and my boyfriend took Ed's tour on a Saturday morning the weekend of July 4th. We were looking to learn more about downtown Charleston and its history and architecture. Ed was great, he was very easy-going, interesting, and a great public speaker. I would definitely bring a camera and sneakers to walk in, as well as sunglasses and maybe... more

Call in advance and prepare yourself for a long, but slow walk. Ed IS Charleston. He is a former carriage driver and he's been doing these tours by himself for 15 years. He is a real treat. He can answer any question. He makes the preservation of the historic mansions sound like God's little miracle. You smile and laugh your... more

We took Ed's tour on the last day of our recent trip to Charleston and can't say enough about how much fun we had and how much we enjoyed hearing some of the stories you wouldn't normally hear about the city. Ed is a great guy and kept the group interested the entire time. I would definitely recommend his tour... more

Hard to add more than has already been said. Ed is very personable and makes the tour entertaining. As we walked down blocks residents would great Ed like he was a good friend. This is truly a local tour by a one man company. You'll also get more than two hours if you want as Ed says he doesn't even... more
