About

If you can't travel to Charleston, we can bring the best of Charleston to you in a live, virtual experience using video and images. From historic homes tucked away on picturesque, cobblestone streets to the high battery, we'll explore Charleston's 350-year history and show you some of the most important sites of the Colonial Period, Revolution, and Civil War.

Just choose which tour you'd like: Charleston History Highlights, Charleston Pirate History, Revolutionary Charleston, or Civil War Charleston. After you choose the day and time, you'll see a dropdown menu with the various tour options.

We've been all over Charleston shooting video and taking pictures just for your tour, so you'll see everything that we discuss. . . almost like being right here with me! Even though we'll meet online, you can still interact with the guide and ask questions.

Appearances on NBC's Today Show (Tour Charleston Like a Local), Travel Channel, PBS, National Public Radio, A&E, Syfy, and Lifetime. I was also featured in United Airways' Hemispheres Magazine story, Three Perfect Days in Charleston. 5 stars on TripAdvisor, Yelp, Google, and Facebook.

FAQ

Is the tour appropriate for children? Yes, the tour is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages.

Do you cancel for bad weather? Tours run rain or shine. Should hazardous weather force the cancellation of a tour, you may reschedule your tour (based on availability). If you cannot reschedule, we will refund your purchase.

Bathrooms? As the tour route takes us through several residential areas, public restrooms are few and far between, and there are no scheduled restroom stops.

Is there access for the handicapped? Charleston’s 300-year-old sidewalks can be a bit daunting if you have mobility issues. However, we do our best to accommodate all including guests with wheelchairs and motorized scooters. If your group does not want a walking tour, we can arrange a a motorized tour or storytelling presentation for you.

Are cameras/video recorders allowed? Yes. In fact, the parrots love posing for pictures.

Should we tip the tour guide? Tipping is always appreciated.

Can you take large groups? Yes, we can accommodate large groups. However, the City of Charleston regulates the tour industry and limits the number of walking tour guests to 20. If you have a group with more than 20 people, we will have to split up the group and use multiple tour guides. All of our guides are highly experienced and very entertaining, and all dress in period apparel. Just contact us for booking information.
