The walking tour with Amy was just incredible. She provided a super informative and fun review of Charleston's history, in a way that really engaged her audience. We really appreciated her funny anecdotes and her maps, models and other fun stuff that really helped learners of all styles.

Our kid (age 9) was adamant that this tour was going to suck. After the first 5 minutes, he was totally engaged and had to be right next to Amy at every stop and during the walks between so he could hear everything she was saying. He enjoyed the tour so much, he actually demanded we give an extra generous tip at the end of the tour because he felt like she deserved it for making the tour so much fun.

The pace was excellent. Not too fast, not too slow. She never dragged, but also never rushed. Delicate historical topics were treated with the perfect balance of respect and levity to keep the mood and tour informative and positive.

I highly recommend taking this tour. We had a weekday afternoon tour with Kay. She was friendly, amusing, and very knowledgeable. Not only did we hear about the major historical events that affected Charleston, she also shared not so well known stories and information about the events and colorful characters that established this beautiful, historic city. We covered a lot of ground in two hours, but it was not a burden. The terrain is flat and well shaded by the trees. Kay kept us thoroughly entertained and there were a lot of stops along the way. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Charleston.

John was our tour guide and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about Charleston. About halfway through the tour, it started to rain, but he powered through and tried to find areas under awnings to protect those who didn’t have an umbrella. John even gave his umbrella to a couple of girls who didn’t have one. Such a gentleman! His stories and honest stories of Charleston’s history were great and has made this one of my favorite cities. I hope we will be able to visit again soon!

There are other ways to tour the city (buses and carriage rides) but they can’t always go the same places that the walking tours can go, so I’d do the walking tour if you’re able!

We scheduled the tour for our first day in the city. Our tour guide, Dennis did a fantastic job of sharing facts about the city’s rich history while showing us key landmarks. I highly recommend!

Our tour guide was Amy (I believe her name was) and she was the most delightful individual to walk us around the city. Made jokes, made a diorama and diagrams and pictures and really really went above and beyond to give you the best experience possible while walking you around the city. She would show you all the good picture spots. Made a customized map of scenic routes, other historical site routes, and good restaurant routes. She was also extremely informative and was able to answer any and all questions we had. She also gave us tips on different historical sites in charleston to visit and museums we should NOT miss out on. Her charisma is palpable. You can tell she’s truly in love with the city and it made us fall in love with the city. Truly the best way to spend a beautiful Saturday morning.

This was part of a 3 day 1500 mile road trip over Christmas. Christmas morning around 6 am I was looking for something to do in town, not expecting much in terms of services open. The tour showed available on Christmas day for 10 am, I was stunned and skeptical, so I paid and booked, thinking I’d get a, yo buddy it’s Christmas are you whacked out thinking we do tours today…….about 730 I get a text stating Amy would be my tour guid and to meet at 945 at 80 broad st. There were multiple tours leaving at that time. I was shocked and impressed, I met Amy and she was the epitome of southern hospitality, apologized for the weather, it was 25 that day, being from the northeast I appreciated the warmer temps. (Lol) Guided me to the closest bathroom before the tour, I had drank a lot of energy drinks driving. Then the best part began, the tour, it was a wonderful mix of historical facts (verified later, been on a few tours where it wasn’t accurate), beautiful scenery and tons of photo ops available, and lastly and in my opinion the most important part, Amy had an amazing and witty sense of humor. Would recommend this to anyone looking to make Charleston an amazing memory!

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour through the historic sites of downtown Charleston. Our tour guide, Kay, was knowledgeable in many areas of the city including the architecture, history, and even botany of Charleston. Would definitely recommend.

I work in the travel industry and have the privilege of getting to hear lots of local guides. None of them can top the experience we had today with Amy as our guide. She had a thorough knowledge of the architecture, history, plants, and anything else you could think to ask about the city of Charleston and the surrounding areas. She also encouraged questions. She projects when she speaks and does this all with a smile and engaging delivery. We are so glad that we chose this tour today and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a walking tour of the city.

Such a great experience. Dennis not only gave us a great history of Charleston but also showed us beautiful, and sometimes hidden, gems of the city. Great way to see Charleston and walk off some lunch.

Hearing the stories about Charleston and exploring the area on foot was one of the highlights of our time in this beautiful, historic city. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, and we learned a lot about the architecture, the history, and the botanical beauty of the area. It was a great experience!
