5.00This was by far one of the best tours - especially for the value I have ever booked. Our tour guide Evans Byrd was on of the most knowledgeable guides we have ever had. We were so fortunate that our group was assigned to Evans. I highly recommend this tour to learn about the fantastic and rich history of Charleston.
