Duggar was our tour guide...

Duggar was our tour guide and was outstanding. He has a true passion for the city’s history and provided interesting facts and trivia, mixed with Southern humor and charm. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. You won’t be disappointed.

Great Value and Very Entertaining!

We did this tour 4 yrs ago as a couple and this time we had a group of 4 as we decided to do it again for our two friends. Duggar was our guide. He exuded southern charm and was an excellent communicator as well as very knowledgeable of the area. Although it was quite warm, Duggar did his best to keep us in the shade versus the sun. This tour was not only a great value but also very informative and fun!

Worth the heat!

Our tour guide Evans was so incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful when speaking on touchy history. He had a great sense of humor and was a delight to spend a few hours around the city with.

Don't skip this tour.

David was an exceptional guide. Seeing the city through the eyes of a native Charleston-ite is a Don't-Miss-Experience. He was knowledgeable, witty, and paced the tour perfectly. It was obvious that one could take the tour multiple times and have an entirely new and valuable experience each time. This tour turned Charleston into my new favorite destination.
