Not a tourist trap just great experience.
Visiting Charleston for the first time and decided to do a "tourist thing". Our guide was Greg and he was great. His honest knowledge of the history as well as the TRUE stories made a very entertaining evening. We fell in love with Charleston amd this was one of the many events that help create a great experience for me and my wife.
