Excellent tour
We had an excellent time with Cooper. I would highly recommend his tour for anyone that is interested in history and the true facts vs the storybook version.

Beskrivelse
Opdag Charleston gennem øjnene af en ægte historiker med tre college grader, herunder en ph.d. Denne oplevelse er en samtale bygget omkring dig – hvad du er interesseret i, hvad du er nysgerrig efter, og hvad du håber at forstå. Cooper begynder med at lære, hvad der betyder mest for dig, og danner derefter oplevelsen omkring dine interesser. Undervejs vil han afsløre ting, du aldrig vidste, udfordre ting, du troede du vidste, og give dig den dybere sammenhæng, der gør Charlestons historie så fascinerende, kompliceret, sjovt og uforglemmeligt. Ved hjælp af en storytelling-stil fyldt med humor, indsigt og masser af tankefremkaldende spørgsmål fører Cooper dig fra Waterfront Park sydpå mod det berømte Charleston Battery. Du vil se smukke landemærker, gå historiske gader og udforske den farverige, overraskende og til tider uhøjtidelige historie om tidlig Charles Towne. Når turen slutter, vil du være tæt på hvor du begyndte - men du vil ikke være den samme rejsende, der begyndte.

Rejseplan
Vi starter ved vandet, går for det meste i skyggen - og tager så mange pauser, som folk måtte have brug for. Husk venligst. Vi går ikke hurtigt, og vi tager vores tid. Charleston er imidlertid ikke kendt for sine lige og lige fortove - det er derfor, vi ikke anbefaler rullestole og vandrere på en tur som denne. Barnevogne har det godt. Imidlertid har små børn muligvis brug for lidt ekstra pleje på de smalle fortove. Det er meget varmt og fugtigt i Charleston denne tid af året. Ud over behagelige vandresko og en god attitude - kan det være en god idé at medbringe et flaskevand.
Smukke brostensbelagte gader, og vi står på Charlestons første fiskemarked
Tror du historien er væk? Tænk igen. Tradd Street blev bygget tilbage i 1720
En betagende udsigt blandt de hundrede år gamle Live Oak træer.
Mange steder viser dig, hvor George Washington sov. Det er her, han boede, mens han var her i Charleston!

The definitive history of Charleston - don’t book anything else!
Cooper was an excellent host and has a deep knowledge and love of history and where he lives. We really enjoyed the tour and picked up a lot of interesting information and knowledge. It is always interesting to hear perspectives of history from another nation’s viewpoint. It is true for example that the UK was a far larger participant in the trans Atlantic slave trade than the USA but it is also true that the USA had a far larger domestic population of enslaved people which persisted much longer. I will be reading Cooper’s blogs in future with interest!

Definitely Recommend!
At the beginning of the tour we were asked what we wanted to learn most about. The tour guide did a great job incorporating that into his tour. Super hot day so the tour guide made sure we stood in shady areas and refilled our water bottles. Very kind and animated.

Great experience!
The guide was very knowledgeable, funny, and encouraged questions. Not only did he give a deep, broad explanation of Charleston’s history and share stories of local culture, he also gave recommendations for where to eat.

Colorful Charleston
Wear your best walking shoes and enjoy the most colorful history of Charleston with Cooper. His stories will fascinate, challenge and motivate you to delve further into what you've learned in history books. All told with a side of humor ;)

Exceptional Tour Experience
This tour was excellent! Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a very comedic style which made the almost 3 hour tour a lot of fun! I learned so much about the history of Charleston. So glad I selected this particular tour and tour guide!

This guide was very...
This guide was very knowledgable because he taught at UNC history dept. and is native to the area. Sometimes hard to hear him so microphones would have been great!

Anniversary
Very informative, interactive and a nice pace. One of the first things Cooper pointed out to the group is that history is made from people. Relating that to what we we seeing put things in a great perspective. I would book again

Fantastic Tour - Don’t Hesitate to Book!
This was a hugely informative tour with lots of insight into history from the settlement of Charleston through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars to the present day. Cooper brought Charleston to life for every era. He made the tour very interactive, which was fun and added to our enjoyment. I highly recommend!

Great tour of Charleston
Excellent tour through history & I learned a lot. You think you already know, but the history is much more interesting than what you learned in school
