Great guided walking tour. Al, the guide, was knowledgeable and shared great facts and stories. Walk was 2 hours and really provided a great first day experience to exploring Charleston

Benjamin was an awesome tour guide! He brought so much historical knowledge and when mixed with a bit of his southern charm, it was perfect. My husband and I were visiting Charleston for the first time and we are thrilled we picked Pineapple Tours to learn more about its history & people. We learned so much! Benjamin tried his best to keep us in the shade as much as possible too which was so appreciated in the hot sunshine. We would definitely take another tour with this company & recommend it to anyone visiting this gorgeous city. So fun & entertaining.

We booked a last minute Easter weekend walking tour with 3 adults, 2 teens, + a child, and even though it was short notice, the Pineapple Tour team accommodated us. Ben was fantastic! We learned so much about the history of Charleston, had lots of laughs, & he even suggested great lunch options for after our tour! If you’re in town, we highly suggest booking any of the incredible tours Pineapple has to offer!

Our guide was great and had an obvious real love for Charleston. He was knowledgeable and fun, he even through in more architectural information once he knew we were interested in that.

Our girl’s trip was off to the perfect start thanks to this informative and entertaining view of Charleston. The city was brought to life thanks to our charming guide, Benjamin. We learned and laughed our way throughout this delightful morning and encourage anyone interested in an in-depth look at a consequential part of our country’s history to book it with Ben!
