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: Discover the people and events that shaped the walled city of Charleston on a guided walking tour. Immerse yourself in history as you pass colonial buildings and streets brimming with stories to tell.
