Description

Most Tours in Charleston will take out 20 people on a tour. I keep my tours smaller and max out at 10 people. By having smaller groups it allows my guests to have a more personalized and unique experience. You get me, an experienced tour guide (Adam Moore) as your tour guide. I do every tour so you can be assured you will be getting the real deal :) So grab a coffee and get your day started off right with a morning history tour of beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. I will provide Intricate and detailed history, plus great storytelling and personality on our tour. Again, I like to keep these tours smaller in size to encourage conversations and questions.

Enjoyed the walking tour with Adam on Charleston history. Had interesting facts and photos about Charleston on each of stops. The meeting place was easy to find, and Adam was at the location early and ready for the group. Would recommend this tour with him.

Operator response

Thank you for checking out Charleston with me. I know people are not in town typically for more than a few nights so I am always honored when people want to explore the city with me. There are literally 100's of activities in this city for people to do so thanks again :)

This tour was fantastic!...

This tour was fantastic! Adam is an incredible guide and public speaker. He was engaging and had lots of interesting facts to add in on every subject we asked him about. He took us to fascinating sights. Was not a difficult walk at all. We learned a lot on this tour and had a great time while doing it. For some people in our group this was their favorite part of the whole trip. I highly recommend this tour and I usually book a history or sightseeing tour everywhere I visit. This is well worth it

Operator response

Oh WOW what a kind and amazing review! That's really cool some people found my tour to be the best part of y'all's trip 😎. I really enjoyed our time together talking history and y'all had some great questions and knowledge to share as well. Thanks again! 🌴 ⛵

Adam has a love for history. He was interesting and factual with great stories to bring us into the scene of what was happening. Adam encouraged questions and his knowledge of the area was endless. We saw beautiful buildings, houses, nooks and crannies.

Operator response

So interesting and Fun!

History provided by Adam was stuff I had never heard. He had story after story that should probably be taught in schools. I'll take this tour again next time we visit Charleston.

Operator response

Thank you so much Dorothy, it was so nice having y'all on the tour. I told y'all at the start you would remember the stories! I encourage questions as it opens up the tour to discussion and y'all had some wonderful questions that got us talking. Thanks again!
