Lovely Family Fun!
Wow. I have six children and a beautiful wife, and let me say, the whole family had a blast with Jon! My wife, Zoë, was particularly interested in the Badass Broads tour that is offered in the nighttime, so we will be back! My youngest was enthralled by the tour and every question, even the obvious and obnoxious, was answered by Jon with excitement and understanding. What an experience, my kids loved it. Thanks Jon! Best, Spencer and Zoë

Jaywalk Tours' Junior Nighttime Passport Experience brings Charleston's history to life for young travelers. The storytelling and hands-on activities keep kids engaged, while parents can enjoy watching history come alive through their children's imagination. It's a creative and thoughtful experience that makes learning feel like an adventure. Highly recommend it to any family visiting Charleston.

In praise of the tour!

Walk with John!
Took tour with family last month ,,, I was hoping the kids would like it ,,, they loved it ! Everyone in the group enjoyed our walk. John , the guide is a fine raconteur. The stories are both interesting and entertaining. He kept the young one’s attention throughout the walk . They kept asking questions all the way back to the hotel in the car ,,, !!! Great choice for a family activity!

A Rare Gem of a Family-Friendly Experience in Charleston
We took the Junior Nighttime Passport Experience with one of our grandkids, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Charleston. Instead of just listening to history, the kids become part of the adventure by collecting passport stamps, solving clues, and exploring the city after dark. It kept our grandson completely engaged from start to finish—and honestly, the adults had just as much fun! The guide was energetic, knowledgeable, and fantastic with kids, weaving Charleston’s history into an interactive experience that never felt like a classroom lesson. We all learned something new while laughing and making memories together. If you’re traveling with children or grandchildren, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s creative, educational, and genuinely entertaining—a rare combination. Our grandson is already asking when we can come back and do it again. Five stars without hesitation!

Great for the whole family!!!
This was a great activity for the whole family. While it is a kid focused experience, the adults got so much out of the tour too! I highly recommend for Girl Scouts!

Incredible Family Experience!
We had the absolute best time on the Junior Nighttime Passport Experience! JWalk Tours has truly mastered the art of keeping kids engaged while making sure the adults have just as much fun. The "passport" concept is brilliant and kept everyone excited from start to finish. It is worth every single penny—an absolute must-do if you are visiting Charleston with family! 5/5 stars all the way!
