Gives meaning to history - My husband and I took a walking history tour with Ben. I am not a history lover, but my husband is. Ben made Charleston"s history come alive, and therefore I actually enjoyed this history lesson. This guide was extremely knowledgeable in the history of Charleston, probably the other areas of history also. Putting interesting stories with the buildings allowed us to remember more about the history of each building/home etc, and I was able to bring this knowledge home. My husband says he would go with this tour guide and REV Walks again.

2 hours of history - Excellent tour guide who led us through center city Charleston. She talked about the history, fires that destroyed many important buildings, the native foliage and trees of the region, pointed out the openness of religious observance in the city and introduced us to the homes of the original settlers.
