Discover the history, architecture and culture of Charleston with a local guide. We will cover 350 years of history in a 2 hour stroll through the cobblestone streets and alleys of the old walled city district. You will see many historic attractions along the way as we discuss the history from the founding in 1670, religious diversity, wars, fires, hurricanes, Gullah/Geechee Culture, economic swings to current growth and expansion.
Charleston has more than tripled it's population in the last 25 years. Most walking tour and carriage tour guides are "from off", meaning they are new to Charleston. All Charleston Perspective walking tour guides are locals, born and raised in our Lowcountry. We will give you a unique perspective to this centuries old colonial town.

So informative! Martha, tour guide is a 13th generation Charlestonian. She knows Charleston, she loves Charleston, she respects its history and is passionate about preserving it for the future. The absolute best walking tour, especially if you’re serious about learning all about Charleston historical and architectural past. Enjoy!
