What to expect

1

Rainbow Row

Rainbow Row refers to the row of pastel-colored historic homes located on East Bay Street, just along the Battery. As one of Charleston’s most iconic sites, you can visit this area on any given day and see couples getting their photos taken for engagements or weddings, along with a drove of tourists trying to get a good photograph of the stunning houses.

2

Charleston City Market

Dating to the late 18th Century, the Charleston City Market is a National Historic Landmark spanning four city blocks. Home to more than 300 daily vendors, this is one of the nation's oldest and largest public markets.

Fort Sumter National Monument

Fort Sumter is a sea fort built on an artificial island protecting Charleston, South Carolina from naval invasion. Its origin dates to the War of 1812 when the British invaded Washington by sea. It was still incomplete in 1861 when the Battle of Fort Sumter began the American Civil War. We will look from the sea wall, but not visit the fort as it sits int he middle of Charleston Harbor

Old Slave Mart Museum

The current structure was once part of a complex of buildings known as Ryan's Mart. The complex had a brick wall enclosed yard, a four-story building that contained a "barracoon" or slave jail, a kitchen and a morgue. We will visit and tell stories about the mart but not enter.

5

Circular Congregational Church

Circular Congregational Church of Charleston, SC was founded in 1681 and is one of the oldest continuously worshipping congregations in the South. We will walk past, but not enter.

Battery & White Point Gardens

Located in the heart of Charleston’s historic district, this prominent landmark provides a spectacular view of Fort Sumter and Charleston Harbor, where the Ashley and Cooper rivers empty into the Atlantic Ocean. It was first used as a public garden in 1837. With the outbreak of the Civil War, it became a fortification for the city.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
