Best walking tour in Charleston - This was one of the most interesting, educational and fascinating walking tours. The tour guide Jonathan is a light hearted easy going extremely knowledgeable history buff. He is a cross between a long time local and a college professor. You learn many historic facts and gain the colorful stories that makes Charleston very special and important in America history.

JWalk Tours is a GREAT way to meet the city!! - My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary away from the kids in Charleston for the first time and one of our favorite activites from the whole trip was the walking tour by JWalk Tours! We started the trip with the tour so that we would have a better idea of what we were looking at as we enjoyed our time in the city and that was defintiely a good move. We were excited about the depth of knowledge of the guide and the outstanding story telling which helped bring everything to life and make it more relevant. We were trying to decide between the carriage tours and another walking tour. We are VERY glad that we settled on JWalk! Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour - Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. Walk was at a nice pace. It was a very hot day and guide made sure to find shade to stand in when he was giving the history of various buildings.

A Great Tour with Knowledgeable Tour Guide - John the owner of this company as well as our tour guide was very professional and quite knowledgeable at each stop during our tour. The pace and distance of the tour stops was just as described and also very reasonable for the warm & humid Charleston weather.

Thumbs way up from Canada! - There were four of us on the tour this morning. This was a highly memorable experience for two reasons: Jonathan is a superb educator, full of humor and energy, sharing his ample knowledge of the history, geography and culture of his city; and even above that, we spent two hours with an individual who wears his deep passion for all that is Charleston on his sleeve. Two thumbs up from Heather and Rob (which makes four thumbs up).
