Enjoyed the tour with David very much. He was very informative and we learned a great deal about the Revolutionary and Civil War times in Charleston. He also helped us with suggestions and directions to other sites. Would recommend this tour.
This tour was worth the price! Our guide provided a mix of history, architecture, religion, etc. We paid for 2 hours and received about 2.5 hours. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know everything about everything!
Our guide Ann, is a life long resident of Charleston and was very knowledgable about the area. She gave us a very good tour with a lot of local information.
Great tour! Lisa was quite informative, with a good sense of humor. Didn't feel like we missed anything, and had enough time to really get a sense of the old city and it's history.
This was a very informative tour.

Our guide, Fran, was a lifelong resident of Charleston and exuded the most gracious manner. Her knowledge of the city, which she imparted to us, was very deep. One could ascertain right away, that she was a professional and pleased to share her city with us.
