A must do for any history buff - Jonathan was a fabulous guide – knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Charleston and its history. I learned so much during the Bad Ass Broads of Charleston tour, and his storytelling really brought the city’s past to life. I’d highly recommend this experience to any history buff looking for a unique and memorable perspective on Charleston.

Badass Broads Tour - Jon was a very knowledgeable guide with an enthusiasm and passion for Charleston and it’s history. We did the Badass Broads tour. It offered a unique take on Charleston and the women who helped build it. The 2 hour tour is great for anyone with an interest in Charleston’s long and varied history. We will be back for the Chicora Walk.

Great fun learning experience - We had heard most of this Charleston history before , but this was presented with a different twist and with a humorous energetically manner. Booked as Historic women of Charleston thru Viator. Guide said the real name was Bad Ass Broads of Charleston. I was worried when he said that but as we went along it was great! Learned about strong independent women and their contribution to Charleston, the USA, and the world
