I really enjoyed my time on the walking tour with Eric. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and knowing I am from Maryland he was able to tie in pertinent details and make connections. I really enjoyed all of the interesting architectural facts as well as his emphasis on all of the important roles the European and Island settlers made in the conception of the city as well as his high lighting the importance of the African enslaved peoples in building and maintaining The city. I did not know that Charleston was a leading rice grower prior to the Industrial Revolution- so many interesting tid bits. Thanks so much, Eric! I can’t wait to take this with my husband the next time we visit.
