"Great afternoon with Bill as our guide! Very intimate, informative and historically interesting. We’ve been to Charleston many times, but learned SO much during our walk with Bill. He must of been a magnificent US history teacher, a true historian who shared so many details and fun facts about our route. I highly recommend this tour - for the first time visitor or even a resident. 5 stars indeed!"
– Laura O. · TripAdvisor"Even on a rainy January morning, we were glad not to miss this experience. With only one day to spend in Charleston, we definitely wanted to hit the ground walking...and Dennis was a great guide to help us see the town through it’s layered, sometimes literally tortured, historical lens. Highly recommended!"
– Nancy B. · TripAdvisor"Fantastic Tour. This is the one tour guide YOU DONT WANT to MISS! We were so fortunate to have Evans Byrd as our guide. By far the BEST tour we have ever done. Evans, a Charleston native, gives such vivid details of historical events and people that he transports you back in time. His knowledge and insight truly made this tour outstanding. Highly recommend!"
– Marc G. · TripAdvisor"My husband and I totally loved our walking tour of Charleston. Evans was an incredible tour guide with a plethora of interesting historical information. Seeing the sights was made so much more fascinating because of the personal interesting stories Evans told along with the facts of each sight. Evans, thank you for making our tour such a fun, memorable interesting experience."
– Roberta G. · TripAdvisor"We did the alley tour and fortunately for us, we were the only couple. Capt Jim took advantage of our small group and customized the tour to fit us. We loved the history and detailed stories. Jim is a wealth of knowledge. If money were no object, I would hire Jim for our whole visit. Great tour for us and we highly recommend."
