Step into the heart of Charleston's storied past on a guided walking tour led by a knowledgeable local. Wander through the city's iconic cobblestone streets, passing beneath moss-draped oaks and along colorful facades that tell the tale of Charleston's evolution from its founding in 1670 to the vibrant city it is today. Your guide will share stories of the city's colonial beginnings, the impact of British and Proprietary Rule, and the resilience shown through wars, hurricanes, and earthquakes. As you explore the original walled city, you'll visit celebrated sites such as Rainbow Row, the pastel-hued stretch of historic homes; the Old Exchange, a pivotal site in American history; and the Old Slave Mart Museum, which offers insight into Charleston's complex role in the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Along the way, discover the unique Gullah/Geechee culture, admire the city's distinctive church steeples, and enjoy views of Charleston Harbor and the High Battery's stately mansions. End your walking tour in the courtyard of a home built in 1783, in the heart of the walled city district. Join us to uncover the rich tapestry of Charleston's history and charm.
