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) fu costruito per riscuotere tariffe e tasse al porto. Edificio di importanza nazionale, fu qui che la Carolina del Sud dichiarò l'indipendenza nel 1776. Gli inglesi lo usarono come prigione dal 1780 al 1782, qui fu ratificata la Costituzione e nel 1791 fu ospitato Ptrdident George Washington.
Questa fila di edifici del XVIII secolo in stile georgiano e giacobino si affacciava sui moli del porto. Negli anni '30 gli edifici fatiscenti furono restaurati come residenze e sono forse la prima impresa di successo nel primo movimento di conservazione di Charleston.
La chiesa più antica di Charleston (1761) è sostanzialmente intatta rispetto al suo design del XVIII secolo. Alcune finestre presentano vetrate colorate di Louis Tiffany and Company. Due firmatari della Costituzione riposano nel cimitero. In particolare, le campane della chiesa hanno attraversato l'Oceano Atlantico cinque volte!
nel 1937, l'Amministrazione dei Progetti di Lavoro creò un teatro nello stile del XVIII secolo. La ricerca aveva dimostrato che il primo spazio teatrale dedicato nel Nord America britannico, chiamato anche Dock Street Theatre, fu costruito sullo stesso terreno nel 1736.
La congregazione più antica, fondata nel 1680. Personaggi nazionali, tra cui un firmatario della Dichiarazione di Indipendenza e un firmatario della Costituzione, riposano nel cimitero. St Philip's ha adorato questo spettacolo dal 1723.
Questa congregazione ha adorato nello stesso sito dal 1681. La Chiesa dei Cittadini Coloniali ha belle tombe in ardesia del XVIII secolo.
Costruito per ospitare la polvere da sparo nel 1713, è la più antica struttura ad uso pubblico tra St Augustine e Williamsburg.
Attraversiamo il giardino, il progetto dell'architetto paesaggista Loutrell Briggs. La casa è forse la più bella casa in stile Adams/federale disponibile per il tour nel paese.
Ci fermiamo al lungomare storico di Charleston per discutere della battaglia di Fort Sumter (1861) e della battaglia di Fort Sullivan (1776). Ammiriamo e discutiamo delle grandi case sul lungomare costruite come palazzi delle feste per la stagione invernale prima della Guerra Civile.
The Gibbes si procura l'arte del sud dal 1858 e possiede un'eccezionale collezione di ritratti in miniatura ea figura intera del XVIII e XIX secolo.
Il luogo di intrattenimento più antico sopravvissuto di Charleston, in origine era una taverna. Alcune fonti lo datano già nel 1686. Il suo nome non deriva dalla verniciatura rosa, ma piuttosto dall'audace roccia corallina rosa con cui è costruito.
Questo edificio unico è stato costruito appositamente per lo stoccaggio della polvere da sparo. Le pareti hanno uno spessore di mattoni di 35 pollici, ma i soffitti a volta sono spessi solo 2 mattoni nella parte superiore, progettati per esplodere e non esplodere in caso di esposizione. Questo museo militare coloniale è gestito dalle Dame coloniali dal 1905.

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!
Our guide was great and catered our tour to what we were most interested in.
Great way to learn fun facts and places to explore. Guide was knowledgeable and had a great personality.
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.
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!
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!
The guide has not come, absolute disappointment

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.
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
