Traveler reviews
Fun and informative
We loved it. Dugger was our guide. I can't recommend it enough! Do it!
Sold me on a return visit
I booked this the morning of the tour because the one I had scheduled was cancelled. I’m glad that I had to change. My tour guide, Mark, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, funny, and had great banter with the group. This was my 1st trip to Charleston and while I had planned to make a return trip, I’m even more determined to return if for no other reason than to take his Hidden Alleys tour.
Fantastic Historic Tour with Al
I did the historic tour with Al earlier this afternoon. I found him to be very knowledgable and proud of his city. He covered a great deal in the 2 hour tour. I really enjoyed it.
Bring water on a hot day....
Bring water on a hot day. There is no opportunity to sit. Tour is extremely interesting if you like architecture and history.
Two hours of holy city history
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour lead by Al. Full of knowledge, stories and a few jokes. You can’t go wrong with this tour
