Booked this trip and Al the tour guide was a NO SHOW. I had to call there to ask where they were. He made an excuse that he couldn’t get downtown for the tour. Who runs tours and doesn’t have their own transportation?? Said he would call me back with a time he could get there. An hour later and numerous attempts to call back ( he then wouldnt answer) I told the receptionist at our hotel. She tried to call and suddenly he picked up! He told her he was having a tough morning ( something about bank fraud) and couldn’t get there. This threw off our entire day’s plans! She said we wanted our money back. Never got our money back. I called him for 2 days after that. No call back. I then found a way I could request my money back through Viator. He finally texted saying he was having trouble locating where he could click to “ refund” me. Many days later I still don’t have my refund. Do yourself a favor and book Bull Dog tours. They were much more reliable, showed up right on time, and were wonderful. I should not have to pay for a tour never given. I should not have to waste my time trying ( so far unsuccessfully) to get my refund. Michael T would be very disappointed to know what has happened to this company. DON’T USE!

Itinerario
The Old Exchange and Provost (1771) fue construido para recaudar tarifas y tasas en el puerto. Un edificio de importancia nacional, fue aquí donde Carolina del Sur declaró su independencia en 1776. Los británicos lo usaron como prisión de 1780 a 1782, aquí se ratificó la Constitución y se entretuvo al presidente George Washington en 1791.
Esta hilera de edificios del siglo XVIII de estilo georgiano y jacobino daba a los muelles del puerto. En la década de 1930, los edificios en ruinas se restauraron como residencias y son quizás la primera empresa exitosa en el movimiento de conservación inicial de Charleston.
La iglesia más antigua de Charleston (1761) está sustancialmente intacta en su diseño del siglo XVIII. Algunas ventanas cuentan con vidrieras de Louis Tiffany and Company. Dos firmantes de la Constitución descansan en el cementerio. ¡Notablemente, las campanas de la iglesia han cruzado el Océano Atlántico cinco veces!
en 1937, la Administración de Proyectos de Obras creó una casa de juegos al estilo del siglo XVIII. La investigación había demostrado que el primer espacio de teatro dedicado en la Norteamérica británica, también llamado Dock Street Theatre, se construyó en el mismo terreno en 1736.
La congregación más antigua, fundada en 1680. Las figuras nacionales, incluido un firmante de la Declaración de Independencia y un firmante de la Constitución, descansan en el cementerio. St Philip's ha adorado este lugar desde 1723.
Esta congregación ha adorado en el mismo sitio desde 1681. La Iglesia de los Pueblos Coloniales tiene finas lápidas de pizarra del siglo XVIII.
Construido para albergar pólvora en 1713, es la estructura de uso público más antigua entre San Agustín y Williamsburg.
Caminamos por el jardín, el diseño del arquitecto paisajista Loutrell Briggs. La casa es quizás la mejor casa estilo Adams/Federal disponible para recorrer en el país.
Nos detenemos en el histórico paseo marítimo de Charleston para hablar sobre la Batalla de Fort Sumter (1861) y la Batalla de Fort Sullivan (1776). Admiramos y discutimos las grandes casas frente al mar construidas como palacios de fiesta para la temporada de invierno antes de la Guerra Civil.
The Gibbes ha estado adquiriendo arte sureño desde 1858 y tiene una colección excepcional de retratos en miniatura y de cuerpo entero de los siglos XVIII y XIX.
El lugar de entretenimiento más antiguo de Charleston, originalmente era una taberna. Algunas fuentes lo fechan en 1686. Su nombre no se deriva del trabajo de pintura rosa, sino de la roca de coral rosa audaz con la que está construido.
Este edificio único fue construido específicamente para el almacenamiento de pólvora. Las paredes tienen un grosor de ladrillo de 35 pulgadas, pero los techos abovedados tienen solo 2 ladrillos de grosor en la parte superior, diseñados para explotar y no salirse en caso de exposición. Este Museo Militar Colonial ha sido operado por las Damas Coloniales desde 1905.

Bummer
Owner canceled the tour less than 45 minutes before the start; his only saving grace was he told me about another tour company and the guide was awesome, so I felt like it maybe it was meant to be and it was a better experience in the end!

Wealth of Information
Al was a wonderful guide around historic Charleston. We ended up with a private tour due to impending weather and he was willing to modify the tour to our interests and also avoid wind and pending rain. This was the first activity for us in Charleston and it was a great way to start our trip. Al was a wealth of information and shared stories with humor and enthusiasm. We would recommend Al and Charleston Footprints Walking Tours to anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with this charming town.

Best Tour Guide Ever!
Al was fantastic. We were only in Charleston for one full day, and his tour was really the highlight of our trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. As a native Charlestonian and a tour guide for nearly 50 years, he knows the history of this town like the back of his hand. He took his time walking us through the most beautiful neighborhoods; I think he even spent an extra half hour with us! I highly recommend Al and the tour!

No show
Tour was cancelled and we weren’t notified. We’ve since spoken w the organizer who was apologetic and promised us a refund. Hope he’s honest.

This response mirrors the one below, both occurring during an episode of API diruptio: , i certainly can understand your frustration. Experiencing a "No Show: is frustrating and disappointing.. There was no guide because that tour had been cancelled weeks ago . You didnt know that and we did;t expect you. Its called technical glitch.. When a product is revised it disrupts the API (Affiliate Party Interface ).The product (in this case the tour as it is posted on Viator, does not interface with the booking platform.The information flow that starts with your booking doesn't connect to the calendar so the reservation platform does not notify us of the purchase or place it in the roster. Tours can be booked even when the tour is not available, which is your circumstance. Our goal is to exceed your expectations, not disappoint., and so: (1) We have accelerated this to the tech team to solve this once and for all. (2)We have put in place a daily email citing reservations outside of the daily manifest/calendar (2) email notifications for these tours are marked Top Priority and will show first in the string.With these safeguards and the tech team performing a full integration, we resolve to never miss a reservation again!

Perfect for history enthusiasts—informative, engaging, and expertly guided.
A fantastic tour from start to finish. The guide’s depth of knowledge was impressive, and the historical insights were fascinating. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in history.

Maybe we just had a bad guide
Neither of us enjoyed the guide. I think his name is Al, When he showed up we thought he was a homeless person. He was not dressed professionally, had a dirty jacket and cap. He was hard to understand, and it wasn’t just his accent. He tried too hard to be funny and entertaining, he was neither. The other folks on the tour also did not seem to get into him. We did cover a good amount of sights. He seemed knowledgeable. We did not tip, which was a first for me. I didn’t notice anyone else tip him either
