Faith was our tour guide - did a fantastic job being engaging, informational, and fun, all while helping us navigate icy sidewalks. This Stroll tour is a must do, and be sure to ask for Faith!

Hostorical walk…

We did the tour yesterday with Dave. He was very laidback and full of Charleston historical information. He has 18-20 years of doing tours here. He knows the hidden secrets, churches, artwork, etc. Walked probably 1-1/2 - 2 miles at an easy pace. Highly recommend Dave and Bulldog Tours. Cheers !
