Jon is very knowledgeable about the history of charleston.
Jonathan was dynamic and knowledgeable. I tend to ask lots of questions, which he was a great sport towards. We appreciated his passion for the anti-slavery and civil rights histories. The stories he shared were inspiring.
Such a wonderful experience!! We learned so much in only 2 hours and he kept it very entertaining! A big highlight to our trip- we will definitely recommend this to anyone who visits!
The walk with Jonathan was very informative and thoughtful in the way he presented it. He discussed different points of view and brought up the contributions of the men and women who played a role in Charleston’s history. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get a more in depth understanding of the history.
Jonathan tour of was delightful! He has a great sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge. I loved that he made us laugh and learn. I will definitely recommend him and go on other tours with him!
First time in Charleston, so glad we took this guided tour! Jonathan was so kind, funny and informative. The time went by quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Best way to learn about the history and stories about the homes. Thank you Johnathan!
Jonathan was an excellent guide who presented the tour as a fascinating story woven through Charleston’s history. It was engaging, entertaining, and educational from start to finish. One member of our group is hard of hearing, so we especially appreciated how clearly and powerfully John speaks. Easily the best two hours of our short stay in Charleston. Highly recommended.
Jonathan was friendly, knowledgeable and he made the 2 hours interactive. We were the only people on his tour which made it even better to learn and listen.
We were lucky to choose Jwalk for our walking tour. Jonathan is knowledgeable and friendly and the two hours flew by. He hit all the stops on the itinerary. We learned quite a bit and it was better than if we walked around on our own and tried to research and read plaques.
The pace was perfect and very informative on history and lure. Jonathan was a delight.
