Excellent tour!

Excellent tour and guide. Jordy was very knowledgeable about Charleston. As well as historic buildings, streets and laneways, he described the history of the people of Charleston.
He included the history of slavery and connection to current events.
Jordy was very approachable and adapted to the needs of the group.
Note: take his advice on local restaurants; we did and we were not disappointed!
Perfect history.

Geordie was excellent. Our initial trip was postponed due to rain and Geordie made it up to us the following day! The knowledge he has is simply amazing.
Excellent walk through the French Quarter.

The guide was very knowledgeable and energetic. He had to hit a couple of sensitive subjects, but was very honest and open about it. I appreciate that.
Wonderful walk back in time.

Great tour. My 12 year old and I really enjoyed it. It was a 9:30 a.m. tour so the streets weren’t crowded with people, which made for a better experience. Also meant it was just us and our guide. So it was a more personal tour and better discussions. We discussed local history, architecture, literature, and just fun random stuff along the way. Geordie was great.
Best tour ever!

Geordie was a very personable, knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor. He made everyone feel comfortable, didn't rush and made the overall experience very enjoyable. We don't live far from Charleston and come often. This was by far the best tour we've taken.

Geordie Buxton was the most knowledgeable, delightful, and articulate guide. His fund of knowledge is phenomenal and mind boggling! He welcomes questions and generally has the answer. We would love to come back and have him give us a tour again.

Geordie was an amazing tour guide for an interesting, enlightening, and beautiful walk. Not only was there history and intrigue, there were facts and truths. We appreciated Geordie’s profound knowledge of Charleston as well as his honest tellings it’s history.
Great historic walking tour with Giorde!

Giorde was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job explaining the history for each site. He even pointed out rum runners on our tour which we would have never seen on our own. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you, Geordie!

We so enjoyed Geordie’s tour! Geordie is incredibly bright and very personable. He is happy to take questions, and he always had answers for us. The best things about the tour were his stories, which really made the history come alive, his personal recommendations on museums (advice we took!), and the smaller size of the group. We were all able to hear and ask questions, which was a benefit to all!

Geordie gave an amazing presentation throughout the entire 2.5 hr long tour. Even his corny jokes were much appreciated. 😎
If you only do one tour....do one with Geordie

Geordie was fantastic. We appreciated his knowledge, humor and ability to engage everyone on our small tour. Never once felt scripted. Felt like we could have listened to him talk all day. Wish we had time to do another tour with him! Next time...
A great experience!

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria.
