    Excellent tour filled with great information and history. Frank was engaging and allowed my family to see and learn so much more about Charleston than what is presented in the pretty tourism picture. I highly recommend the tour.

    This was my 2nd tour with Frank. He’s professional, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the African American history of Charleston. I highly recommend everyone take his tour. I took the “morning walk” tour last year and the riding tour this time. Preferred the walking tour if the heat isn’t a deterrent. But both great!

    The Other Charleston is an appropriately named tour. We cannot speak highly enough about this guided tour by Franklin. He is incredibly knowledgeable. He shares his knowledge about the History of Charleston that is not covered in other tours. Enlightening and informative, particularly to us as adults born in other countries. Highly recommend.

    It is rare in a city that an option for a tour where the story behind the story is provided. Franklin schooled us about the history of Charleston as we walked and drove the city streets. Unscripted he plays off the energy of the group and organically tailors the experience uniquely to each group. When he says,“ask questions”, my advice is to ask questions because he truly makes it interactive journey.

    Frank was professional , knowledgeable, funny but above all, thought provoking and passionate in his mission to provide the Real story of the enslaved of Charleston. His tour takes you off the white-washed path of the carriage tours onto the pavement of the neighborhoods, homes, backyards of the people who really Built Charleston. It changed me. Well Done Frank and Thank you.
