Evan is a fabulous tour guide. He shared incredible historical facts about the Charleston area. Plus he added patriotic references to many key figures of history.

Booked a walking historical tour day one in Charleston to give me some perspective through the next couple days there. Can’t recommend it enough, the history is so rich, and so consequential to this country, there is a piece of it in all of our national DNA today. We were fortunate to have Mark as our tour guide - great job! Personable, articulate and very knowledgeable; I feel as though I could spend a semester listening to him recite the fortunes, tragedies, irony, coincidences and connections woven through this town. I heartily recommend a historical tour immediately upon arriving in Charleston, it will turn daguerreotype to Kodachrome. Thanks again Mark!

Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of the historic district so we could choose where to visit later.

Very interesting and informative. Saw much more of the city than we would have seen on our own. Dennis was a wonderful guide and great historian

Mark our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable and funny. He pointed out things I would have overlooked had I walked around on my own. Very informative and interesting. He really knows his stuff! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charleston. Thank you Mark!

Our guide, Al, was great. He was very informative and interesting but also put in some humor. He also tried to get a feel for what the group as a whole enjoyed and integrate some of that into the tour. We were in Charleston for a short time but were so glad we did this!

Tour guy was very knowledgeable and witty. Al did a wonderful job and answered questions happily. He did a wonderful job with our group. Felt lucky to have him.

Thorough and informative. Requires sufficient mobility to walk for two full hours, but well worth the effort.
