Wonderful excursion - Great experience, great guide, good scenes of some alleys and backyards you can’t see from street. Nice history lesson. Lots of walking on bricks and stones. Took full 2 hours.

Off the beaten path is usually more interesting. This is no exception. - Captain Bill was one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and funny. The tour itself was interesting as well as Charleston has some other cool little back alleys that people use as part of their lives. Great fun.

Phenomenal experience - Captain Jim was phenomenal! Engaging, full of history. An easy walk around the city. Enjoyed the out of the way places and perspective from a long time resident. Would highly recommend this experience.

Captain Jim's Fabulous Walking Tour of Charleston - This is the best, most informative and entertaining walking tour I've ever taken anywhere. Captain Jim is incredible, between his wealth of knowledge, historical and current, and the mastery of his delivery. He is a consummate story-teller and you will undoubtedly enjoy your two hours with him. It was absolutely money and time well-spent.

Great Tour! - Great tour. Captain Phil shared many interesting points of Charleston’s history, including recent history. You could tell he had done his own research. Very enjoyable.

Fun walking tour in Charleston - Charleston is such a great city to explore, but this tour really took us into a couple of easily overlooked areas that you would walk right past. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace and covered a lot of area. The info was heavy in the beginning of the tour then it sort of tapered off. Overall great 2 hours spent.
