Great intro to Charleston...

Published on Jan, 2025

Great intro to Charleston for someone who has never visited before. I am sure this would also be useful for a returning visitor who wants to know more about the history of the area.

Excellent self-guided tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was exceptionally well-priced, clear, and informative. Directions were clear and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommended.

Great Way to Tour Sights of Historic Charleston on Your Own

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I greatly enjoyed the app and the tour. There is a bit of learning curve as to how the app works, but doesn't it take too long to get the hang of it.

Walking tour at your own pace

Published on Dec, 2024

Spend 5 minutes or so getting familiar with the app, and then it’s easy to navigate. We very much enjoyed doing it at our own pace.

A great visit to an important American city. I was unaware of Charleston’s importance in American history but now I do.

Published on Nov, 2024

A very lovely and interesting tour. Greg seems very knowledgeable about Charleston and presents the city in a loving way.
