Traveler reviews
Her tour was the favorite part of our vacation to Charleston
Liz was a delightful guide. Her tour was the favorite part of our vacation to Charleston. She keeps her tour groups small, and that was a real advantage. She gave us the most interesting details as we walked through great parts of the city. We felt like she really wanted us to have a special time. Thank you, Liz!
