What to expect
Charleston packs 350 years of American history into a walkable peninsula, and a guided tour is how you read the streets you're walking, the architecture, the churches, the stories the buildings don't tell on their own.
From the operator: Visit over 100 points of interest in Charleston’s historic district. Admire iconic sights of the city including High Battery and Rainbow Row.
