Go with Dennis - Dennis was a fun and very knowledgeable guide - wish we’d had longer but in 2 hours you can barely scratch the surface of so much history. Great overview and introduction.

Amazing Al - Al was amazing. it was a cold morning and he not only took time to get to know a little about us and connect, he was so courageous to find sunlight to stop in and waiting patiently before he began speaking to ensure we were all there and could here. He was very knowledgeable, funny and so passionate about the history, architecture and preservation of Charleston. This was my first, but not my last visit. Thanks Al 😊

Educational & Thorough - A great 2 hour walk with a period of sitting near the end at a park for the perfect rest. We learned a lot about the history as well as the pop culture references.
