Amazing Tour, Great Guide
Awesome experience! Godfrey is so passionate and informative about the history of Charleston Gullah slave trade. I chose this tour during my birthday trip because I wanted to know the story of Charleston and the Gullah Geechee people. We got what we paid for and MORE! This was such a rich experience that we will never forget! If you want to know the unfiltered truth and feel as though you were transported back in time to understand the history, you must book this tour with Godfrey! 10 out of 10 for sure!
