Traveler Reviews

Overall the tour was excellent. Adam was very friendly and a great story teller who had a wealth of knowledge about Charleston. I highly recommend this tour.

Adam was a great tour guide. His colorful stories greatly enhanced the experience of learning about Charleston! We loved it !

This was the very best one could imagine. Personal, thorough, candid and addressed everything we could hope to see and hear. Gave us such a good understanding of the city that we could visualize its development. There are lots of tours, but only one Adam.

This was an awesome tour and lucky for us we were the only two people that day. September being hurricane season Charleston isn't that busy. Adam was a great story teller and knowledgeable tour guide! We learned a lot about the city and its people. We highly recommend this tour and any tour Adam heads up!!!

The stories. Adam was a fantastic tour guide. We lucked out being the only two on his tour. People don’t tend to travel during hurricane season so lucky us. Can’t say enough about what we saw & learned along with fascinating stories of the past. Highly recommend!!!! P.S.his tours are never more than ten.
