What a delightful two hours walking thru beautiful and historical Charleston. Gia was passionate about telling us of the many women who were a part of Charleston history and peppered the conversation with architectural and social tid bits. Highly recommend!

Gia was super fun and so knowledgeable about Charleston history. We went to two great spots for drinks and she had lots of good recommendations. If you’re interested in the history of the important women of Charleston and you enjoy good wine and good company Gia is the tour guide for you!!

Gia was a gem! She’s such an intellectual historian. Her passion for historical women shows clearly in this tour. The wine is a plus but it’s not even needed because you don’t want the booze to make you forget the important facts of these forgotten women. It was empowering as a woman traveling solo to hear how bad ass these women were. Thank you Gia for sharing your knowledge
