Best Tour of Downtown Charleston - Dana is very knowledgeable of the history in Charleston. From the alley ways, rainbow row, and the harbor she has got it down! She guides you to beautiful areas of Charleston while keeping it fun and educational! 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic Walking Tour - There were six of us that did a private tour with Dana and the experience was fantastic. She took us down streets and alleys that were full of history but were not places we would have ever visited on our own. Dana was extremely knowledgeable, very personable and kept us engaged throughout the two hour walking tour. Even though all six of us had previously been to Charleston multiple times, we learned so many new things about the city because of this tour. The pricing for our group of six adults was very reasonable and we highly recommend Experience Moore Tours.

Charleston History and Fun Facts - This was my 2nd tour with Dana (my 1st was with a sales group earlier in the year) and I offered it to my son’s wedding party for those unfamiliar with Charleston. Dana presents the history but also entertains with fun facts about Charleston and southern history. The time and distance were just-right. Highly recommended! Tim - Ohio

Experience the Best With Dana Moore! - We had the best time exploring Charleston with Dana who knows the town and Charleston’s past very well. The pace was perfect on this history tour which included her answering our questions and pointing out the iconic places as well as some hidden secrets. You could tell she has a teaching background from the way she guided our small group with ease from one place to another.

Excellent Tour - Charleston is such a beautiful city with an intoxicating history and it is so important that you have a tour guide who can not only show you the hidden gems, but also transport you into the past to experience the stories of this magnificent place. Dana is certainly the tour guide for the job. Our tour through the hidden alleys of Charleston was truly wonderful. Not only is she knowledgeable about the city- you can also tell she truly loves what she does. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we will be using Experience Moore Tours any time we need a walking tour in Charleston.
