Dugger was an amazing wealth of knowledge. I loved all of the history and fun facts. The architecture was absolutely stunning! He kept it interesting and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone when they’re in Charleston.
The Guided History and Architecture Walking Tour was outstanding! Our guide Evans is a Charleston native with personal connection to and a passion for the history of Charleston. It was a warm day but we stayed in the shade as much as possible and were provided multiple water breaks.
This is a fantastic tour! Our excellent tour guide Dennis Mardis made the tour so informative and fun. We highly recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about Charleston, its history and architecture. Our only regret was we did this on day 2 of our visit instead of the first day. A wonderful experience with a terrific guide!
Our tour guide was Michael. He did an amazing job sharing his love for his home town of Charleston. He had 20 people in his group and did a wonderful job keeping us together and was loud enough so that we all could hear him share facts, stories and details about the city. Well done! I definately recommend this tour.
Michael was a fantastic guide- he was friendly, factual and funny! I enjoyed all his fun facts and welcoming approach.
Dennis was a great guide. We had a large group, but he managed to keep it moving and the stories were interesting. Highly recommend!
Great opportunity to learn about local and national history! Tour guide shared excellent stories and anecdotes about the people who created the city of Charleston.
Al was very knowledgeable, engaging, and fun! Loved the tour and we learned so much about this beautiful city!
I expected more from the tour. I did not feel that there was much discussion about the architecture. Interesting information about history and local norms was shared. The guide had a lot of experience and knowledge, but I thought he would talk more about design and architecture.
The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide was Al and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining! He did a great job explaining the architecture and history of Charleston. I would highly recommend this tour.
