This tour was excellent. This was our first time visiting Charleston. The depth of history and knowledge was incredible. We learned so much and plan to return in the future. We are slightly biased because it was just my wife and me and the tour guide so he spent some extra time explaining and going into deeper detail.

Brandon was an excellent tour guide. My friend and I were the only ones on the scheduled tour that day and he extended the time for us, giving us an additional 30 min of time showing us the city and telling us the history. He was knowledgeable and fun. So much so that we decided to take his ghost tour that same evening, which was also excellent!
