Overview

    Charleston was one of the wealthiest cities in the south until the Civil War broke out and destroyed everything that city had built up. Your private walking tour will be led by a local expert who will share stories jam-packed with four centuries of history. Stroll past pretty painted houses and the waterfront whilst hearing about how the slave-trade developed and evolved. As the city is flat, it's easy to walk around as you soak up its history and hear how hard Charleston has worked to overcome the complexities of the past to be one of the most hospitable cities in the south. After your walking tour through the city, enjoy a snack or drink at the local market at a place recommended by your guide.

What's Included

  • A friendly, professional tour guide for your own private group
  • Plenty of time to take photos of your favourite places
  • A beer, glass of house wine, or a soft drink per person during a comfort break

What to Expect

    With nearly four centuries of history, Charleston is jam-packed with stories waiting to be heard. Enjoy a walk through the pages of the country's history books and discover Charleston highlights, one of America's oldest cities - and one of its wealthiest preceding the Civil War. On your private walking tour, your guide will discuss with you the first few centuries of the city - the way the slave trade evolved over the years, and the way the system made Charleston the wealthiest city in the South; then hear how the Civil War dismantled and destroyed the city's infrastructure. To walk in Charleston is to grapple with the complexity of its past while seeing the work it has done and continues to do to make its Southern hospitality inclusive and sincere to all.
