Description

Most Tours in Charleston will take out 20 people on a tour. I keep my tours smaller and max out at 10 people. By having smaller groups it allows my guests to have a more personalized and unique experience. You get me, an experienced tour guide (Adam Moore) as your tour guide. I do every tour so you can be assured you will be getting the real deal :) So grab a coffee and get your day started off right with a morning history tour of beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. I will provide Intricate and detailed history, plus great storytelling and personality on our tour. Again, I like to keep these tours smaller in size to encourage conversations and questions.

This tour was fantastic!...

This tour was fantastic! Adam is an incredible guide and public speaker. He was engaging and had lots of interesting facts to add in on every subject we asked him about. He took us to fascinating sights. Was not a difficult walk at all. We learned a lot on this tour and had a great time while doing it. For some people in our group this was their favorite part of the whole trip. I highly recommend this tour and I usually book a history or sightseeing tour everywhere I visit. This is well worth it

Operator response

Oh WOW what a kind and amazing review! That's really cool some people found my tour to be the best part of y'all's trip 😎. I really enjoyed our time together talking history and y'all had some great questions and knowledge to share as well. Thanks again! 🌴 ⛵

Adam has a love for history. He was interesting and factual with great stories to bring us into the scene of what was happening. Adam encouraged questions and his knowledge of the area was endless. We saw beautiful buildings, houses, nooks and crannies.

So interesting and Fun!

History provided by Adam was stuff I had never heard. He had story after story that should probably be taught in schools. I'll take this tour again next time we visit Charleston.

Operator response

Thank you so much Dorothy, it was so nice having y'all on the tour. I told y'all at the start you would remember the stories! I encourage questions as it opens up the tour to discussion and y'all had some wonderful questions that got us talking. Thanks again!

Great history and walking tour. You learn history about the town and visit an old theater, graveyard, & walk down some hidden alleyways. Great tour guide.

Fun informative tour. ...

Fun informative tour. Adam knew his history. He was very passionate and love Charleston. Lived how he kept us in the shade on a very sunny day!

Operator response

Thanks for coming on my tour, I know there are 100's of things you could have done and you chose my tour and that means a lot to me. That's great you noticed that small detail about staying in the shade...it's definitely important and I stay mindful because a lot of people can't handle the sun, heat and humidity of South Carolina as it can be brutal :)

Awesome city tour!!

This tour was awesome in the sense that it was a small group, and our guide was very informational and knowledgeable on the history of this fabulous city. He took questions, explained, each stop very well, and added things in a humorous, entertaining, and energetic way. This small group city tour was the highlight of our day.

Operator response

Thank you so much! I know a lot of facts and dates but I have always been a storyteller and people typically remember a great story. I do love when people ask questions and y'all asked some good ones. Questions always open the tour up for more information and discussion. Thanks again Jodi!

Absolutely outstanding...

Absolutely outstanding tour! Adam does a great job of telling the history with interesting antidotes, a passion for history, and humor! Small groups make it even better!

Operator response

Thank you, I am glad my passion for history and storytelling shines through. Small groups are preferred for me as a tour guide as well. It encourages people to ask more questions which makes the tour more interesting. I really appreciate you choosing my history tour as I know there are 100's you could chose from in Charleston!
