Lille Tour: Charleston Gamle Walled City Historical Walking Tour

Very informative and interesting! The two hours go by very fast. Even on the hottest day, the tour guide made sure we stayed in the shade. So much detail that you could not tour it yourself and learn

Our guide was very informative and engaging. He ran over about 20 minutes because he had so much information to share. We really enjoyed the tour and do recommend it to friends.

Very knowledgeable tour guide. He’s clearly passionate about the city and its history, and that comes across in the tour. He asked us about anything we wanted to see and worked those pieces into the tour. We had a fantastic time!

The tour guide was 20 minutes late to the tour. He spoke very quickly and was difficult to understand. There were a lot of “racist” undertones to his stories, which included comments made by his family members.

I enjoyed the information that Al provided, especially his family's reactions to Northerners and other remnants of the Civil War era. However there were times it was difficult to hear him, given his Southern accent and the fluctuating volume of his humorous asides. Speak up, Al. We want to hear ALL the humor you inject into the tour. : )

We left about a third of the way into the tour. The guide started by spending a lot of time discussing carrying firearms in South Carolina, even about his mother carrying one. It made me wonder if he was armed. In the cemetery, he pointed out a base relief sculpture of a young woman buried there noting that she seemed to have large breasts. He then speculated that she may have died of a chest cold. His speech was difficult to follow and he had a tendency to finish his comments with a strange laugh. Luckily, there was an Irish pub along the route.

It’s a bit disappointing and disrespectful to get a cancellation at 4:45 pm for a tour that was supposed to be at 2:30 pm. We showed up well in time for the 2:30pm tour, waited over 15 minutes without any notification of cancellation. We asked the other tour guides who said Al can sometime run late. So we waited, only to get an email at 4:45pm saying the tour was cancelled because we didn’t book in time??? If that was the case close the portal so that pleoke cannot book it. While it’s no sweat off Al’s back and he’ll do more tours, my wife and I are really disappointed with the lack of professionalism.

Great tour! Al was great and so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. We enjoyed his experience and commentary. Best tour we have done in Charleston

The guide did not show up. Call and SMS to the tour operator went unanswered. Five people missed their tour.

Al really knows Charleston and is an entertaining, informative, and hospitable guide. We especially enjoyed his depth of knowledge about the amazing architecture in the French Quarter. And he gave us well more time than our tour was scheduled for—so wear your best walking shoes!
