Traveler reviews
Will recommend
An excellent tour guided by a history professor with deep knowledge of the history of Charleston. Loved it.
Tour of Charleston and religious/political influences impacting.
Our excursion director was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about Charleston and the issues/religious influences impacting the city. Great experience.
Predestined encounter at the Palmetto.
Hang out at the Palmetto Hotel Bar and meet the most fascinating tour guide of Old Charlestown. Much like Hemingway being a fixture at Sloppy Joes in Key West, Bill Is a key fixture to historic Charleston and the Palmetto. Buy him a drink and watch him entertain, educate, and provide the true history of the city and its checkered past. If you really want to see him in rare form ask him his thoughts on the Citadel. If you happen to be at the Palmetto for an espresso martini and you hear a guy talking about history, say hello to Bill and trust he will give you the raw and unfiltered truth.
Take a walk with Bill and learn about Charleston
In spite of a hot July day, this walking tour of Charleston was a terrific time.Our guide Bill, a man with a substantial background in SC history, explained the evolution of Charleston and its place in American history in great detail. We saw many points of interest in the historic district. This tour is highly recommended.
