Strong Women of Charleston - What an amazing tour! I was the only participant, but Johnathan Green did not cancel. Thank you, Johnathan. I learned so much about the strong women of Charleston who helped shape the city's history. Johnathan had a wealth of knowledge about the formation of "Charles Town," Gullah-Geechee culture, historical buildings, and the spirit of Charleston.
My father graduated from The Citadel, so I have been visiting Charleston since I was a small child. Over the years, I have taken numerous historical tours, but this is my all-time favorite. Thank you, Johnathan! I highly recommend any tour he guides.

10/10 Experience! - We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour in Charleston this week with Jonathan Green! He was funny, personable, and an incredible storyteller. We took the Badass Broads tour which highlighted many amazing women connected to Charleston’s history — what a unique and meaningful perspective.
I went with my twin 24-year-old daughters, and they loved it just as much as I did. Jonathan answered my many questions with enthusiasm and depth, and he even gave us a fantastic lunch recommendation that turned out to be spot on. Thank you!!
If you’re visiting Charleston, I would absolutely recommend booking a tour with him. 10/10 experience!

Book this today! - Hands-down, the most fun and educational thing my friend and I did while we were in Charleston. I was amazed at the Badass Broads and all they did in the area and the fact that I had never heard of most of them before. The tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and passionate about the subject and Charleston. Well worth the fee and a great way to spend two hours in the city.

Complex History, Expertly Told by Master Storyteller - Johnathon is a truly exceptional guide and a genuinely kind soul. His passion for the history of his city— and the women who built it— is palpable. He doesn't shy away from Charleston's complex past of slavery, instead, he commits to sharing it with empathy, action, and remembrance that elevates the experience beyond a typical tour. This is a great way to orient yourself to the city, and I highly recommend taking it early in your stay. With plenty of stops along the way to stop and sit a moment, Johnathon has the absolute craft of storytelling on full display.
