Badass Broads Tour - Jon was a very knowledgeable guide with an enthusiasm and passion for Charleston and it’s history. We did the Badass Broads tour. It offered a unique take on Charleston and the women who helped build it. The 2 hour tour is great for anyone with an interest in Charleston’s long and varied history. We will be back for the Chicora Walk.

Best walking tour guide - Jonathan is by far the best tour guide I have ever had. He is not only great story teller of Charleston history, he is very passionate about that history. You will enjoy yourself so much you won’t even realize you are also learning things! Do not second guess taking one of his tours, you will NOT be disappointed!

Engaging and entertaining guide tells the stories of women of Charleston on his walking tour. - We did the afternoon “Badass Broads of Charleston” walking tour by J Walk Tours. This tour focused on women who made an impact on the history of Charleston. Jonathan was engaging and friendly. He wove his stories into the sites we saw a long the way. Johnathan is passionate about sharing these stories and has a sincere appreciation for the these women. He also touched on the history of slavery in Charleston. It’s not a feminist tour but rather tells the stories of these women. It’s not only for women! It was more interesting than I expected.

Great fun learning experience - We had heard most of this Charleston history before , but this was presented with a different twist and with a humorous energetically manner. Booked as Historic women of Charleston thru Viator. Guide said the real name was Bad Ass Broads of Charleston. I was worried when he said that but as we went along it was great! Learned about strong independent women and their contribution to Charleston, the USA, and the world
