Walking tours are made by the guide and the stories they tell. I researched Charleston's many walking tour companies and selected Charleston Footprints - led by Michael Trouche. Our expectations were surpassed. Despite our tour starting in a heavy downpour, Michael quickly engaged the entire...More
