Highlight of our trip to Charleston!
delwin_e
, May 2022
Touring with Adam was a highlight of our trip. We ended up being the only two on the tour and he was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Our favorite thing about Adam that may set him apart was his humility in stating that he wouldn’t make things up if he didn’t know the answer. We really appreciated this! As a Black family, we also appreciated his sensitivity to and empathy surrounding our understandably hard emotions regarding Charleston’s history of enslaved peoples. We felt cared for, entertained (he’s a great storyteller!), and really glad we toured with him. You won’t be disappointed!
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thank you Delwin for the great and thoughtful review! I had a really nice morning with y'all. I am honored that even though you were in Charleston for a short time y'all decided to spend some of that time learning about our history with me. It was a pleasure meeting you both, thanks again!
Clients loved it!

I booked for a client experience while in Charleston. We had such a great time. The clients were talking about it for 3 days. Thank you Adam for taking us.
Excellent and exciting tour. Adam was great and enthusiastic!

Robert Small’s story was interesting and made me want to find out more about his story. Pirates stories were not what I expected I had a completely different thoughts.
Response from Host , May 2022

Just enjoyed the whole tour .Adam was well versed and full of historical facts and great stories, I also loved the small group,Charleston was lovely ,the theater ,rainbow row and the insight on the slave trade.I saw some family history and got to see Bull street and the William Bull House.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
I had a great time hanging out with y'all Frank and I appreciate you writing this nice review. One of my favorite things about doing my history tours and keeping them small are that I can engage and talk with my groups better. I love when the people on my tour let me know some history from their families or area of the Country. Y'all were full of great history and information.
A truly fun experience

This was an awesome tour and lucky for us we were the only two people that day. September being hurricane season Charleston isn't that busy. Adam was a great story teller and knowledgeable tour guide! We learned a lot about the city and its people. We highly recommend this tour and any tour Adam heads up!!!
Enjoyable walk through Charleston.

Our tour guide, Adam, was so knowledgeable about Charleston history. His tours included such interesting stories that most people wouldn't know about. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour!
The best tour!

Our tour with Adam was awesome. His history of Charleston was perfect. He was very personable and humerus. He’s stories were great as well. I spoke with him before your arrival to Charleston and he responded very quickly. He was very accommodating as well. We WILL be seeing Adam again on our next trip to Charleston. Trust me, you won’t be dissatisfied.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. 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. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
