Overview

Our two hour Highlights of Charleston walking tour guides guests through the historic French Quarter and South of Broad neighborhoods of downtown Charleston. Along the way, your guide will describe the long history, unique culture, architecture, and geography of Charleston and the greater lowcountry area, painting a detailed picture of how Charleston's tumultuous past formed the city now beloved by travelers the world over. You'll view some of the city's oldest houses of worship, burial sites, theaters, the forts of Charleston harbor, and the antebellum mansions that look out across the waters of the Cooper and Ashley rivers, among many other historic and picturesque sites. Our guides also offer their expert advice on other activities, restaurants, and bars for guests to explore once they've finished their tour.

Charleston walking tour extemely interesting. Excellent history knowledge and entertaining background stories

Published on Feb, 2025

Bill is a studied historian and is very passionate about his city. Excellent history lesson with a lot of examples and background stories at the most important stops of the historic district.

Charlestons best tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

In our many tours over the years, Bill was the best tour guide ever. His knowledge of the area was exceptional.

Dip your toe in Charleston's tide of history

Published on Jan, 2025

Bill was entertaining and informative. He's a font of knowledge -- encouraging questions from tour participants, while keeping it interesting with interactive dialogue. Charleston has notable history and neat architecture, both of which were highlighted in this tour. Really glad I made time for it.

Highly recommended

Published on Jan, 2025
