Charleston Historical Walking Tour Experience

I promise you're going to learn more about history on this tour than on any other tour in this town. I will teach you things you did not know, and challenge things you think you know.
But... we start by discussing what's important to you about history. What you like, and what you hope to learn. This allows me to focus the conversation where you want.

I use a story format and I ask you a lot of questions to spur discussion. I'll walk you down the path of Charleston in a funny, interesting, sometimes irreverent way.

We'll start at Waterfront Park and head south to the famous Charleston battery. We'll see some amazing sights and have some fascinating discussions about the very colorful history of the early fort of Charles Towne.

When we’re finished we’ll end up very close to where we started, the proud new owners of the most valuable souvenir you can take home from your trip – knowledge.

So come on ya'll, this tour ain't gonna book itself! :)

Chucktown Tours

1 Vendue Range, Waterfront Park - under the street sign for Concord and Vendue Range, Charleston, 29401-2129, South Carolina

We start out by the water, walk mostly in the shade - and take as many breaks as people may need. Please keep in mind. We’re not walking fast, and we take our time. However, Charleston isn’t known for its straight and level sidewalks – that’s why we don’t recommend wheelchairs and walkers on a tour like this. Strollers are fine. However, young children may need a little extra care on the narrow sidewalks.  
It’s very hot and humid in in Charleston this time of year. In addition to comfortable walking shoes, and a great attitude - you may want to bring a bottled water.
