We booked this tour on the recommendation of our concierge and were treated to more than 2 hours of insights, stories, and facts about Charleston. We would recommend Jonathan for his enthusiasm and ability to explain the intertwined history of this lovely city with the growth of America.
This is a 2 hour walk through 350 years of the history of the beautiful city of Charleston. We tell an accurate, interesting, sad, tragic, uplifting, dramatic, sometimes funny, tale.
Departure Point

Jonathan gave an excellent walking tour of Charleston! He is extremely knowledgeable about the city and all of its complex history. His love for the city shines through in the detailed, emotional stories he shares. I would highly recommend taking his tours- we’ll be doing another one the next time we visit!
