The 1-Hour Greenville History and More Walking Tour

The biggest difference is customization. We change it up as we walk depending on what you tell us. No other tour in Greenville lets you customize every detail. We also know more about modern Greenville, SC, than anyone else in town. Every day our guides read and study more about the area. Crossed Roads Tour guides all grew up in the area. We have special insights that the many tours coming from outside simply cannot have.
And the final difference, is honesty. We'll actually tell you whether a restaurant is good or bad, and whether an activity is worth doing. Even if that means upsetting a particular restaurant or business, we'll give you the truth.

What To Expect
Greenville
Crossed Roads Tours provides the best tour in Greenville, South Carolina, because we customize it for you. No other operator in the area does this. We talk with you about what you want specifically and then change our tour based on that. All of the below events are actually optional. We travel to different areas based on your feedback, and we'll actually ask you during the tour if you're enjoying this particular path or would like to change it.
The Huguenot Mill and Loft is an incredibly beautiful historic building. Expertly maintained, it was originally where the French Protestants created a new life for themselves. They became a huge part of our textile industry, and now you can check out the incredible exterior. (It now serves as private offices and a wedding spot, so we need to remain outside).

Outstanding tour!!!

5.00Walter was outstanding as our tour guide. He packed a lot of history into our tour of downtown Greenville in a relaxed and fun way. His knowledge of the area is firsthand from growing up here as well as knowing the historical roots. This tour would be well worth it at twice the price! We would go again for his "places to eat" tour. Well worth your time.
Walter was very friendly...

5.00Wow, we had come through Greenville many times, this was our first time to find out as much as we could and have fun. We signed up for the walking tour, and was lucky enough to get Walter. He was able to Taylor our tour to fit our interests, which was mostly history and art. So we zigzagged all over the city showing us amazing art installations that we never would have found on our own, as well as providing us the history of the city along the way. His knowledge and expertise is unquestioned, and we learned quite a bit. And I believe he was honest in his recommendations. But most importantly, we had a lot of fun. We are telling our friends about it. Highly recommended.
Great intro to Greenville

5.00Walter is extremely knowledgeable about Greenville and surrounding areas. We booked a walking tour, but because of my wife’s knees, he recommended a driving tour and took us to twice as many areas within our hour.
Excellent walk with a wealth of information.
