5.00The tour was so much fun. A little history, a lot of food - all different and a good taste of what makes Charleston unique. Crystin was an amazing guide - kept the tour tailored to the group and was fun to chat with and yet to know. All around 5 stars!

5.00Perry, our guide, was wonderful! He was very friendly and remembered all our names which added a personal and warm touch. The food was great. I especially loved walking around the city and going down Philadelphia alley—the alley where duels tended to happen. The ghost story was an added bonus! A great time in a great city with a fabulous guide. Highly recommend!
