We had a wonderful tour with Kim. She was extremely knowledgeable, informative and entertaining in her delivery of information. We all thoroughly enjoyed the bus tour and the self guided tour of the Aiken-Rhett house as well. We especially enjoyed appreciated the headphones and device guiding us through the premises with all the pertinent information. The tour was well worth it!

Description
History comes alive on this combo tour. The tapestry of the city history is presented in a passionate, well rounded way. We believe history is history, the good, the bad and the ugly of it. After this tour, you will never think of Charleston the same way again. When you are done touring the house, you will stroll, at your leisure, through the oak canopied Wragg Mall on your short walk back to the Charleston Visitors Center. The tour is expected to last approximately 3 hours in total.

Itinerary
Wander through the city on this bus tour for 1 and a half hour.
This preserved home, built in 1820, invites you to walk through a veil of time to explore Charleston in her antebellum days. The house, grounds and dependencies are all included in this tour. One of the more poignant parts of the tour is walking up the well worn steps from the kitchen to the slave quarters. Here, their story seems to come alive.
