Kay was friendly, open, honest, and very knowledgeable. She knew so much I don’t think she could tell everything she wanted to in two hours. Time flew by as we wound around historic sites and beautiful neighborhoods. Taking note would have been impossible on such a hot steamy day but I wish I had! Great tour and would definitely recommend to my friends!

Wendy was really knowledgeable and did a great job keeping us cool in shady spots. We saw so many classic Charleston places. The fun stories about pirates and former presidents was perfectly offset by the harsh reality of slavery in this city.
