Great Time with Jake - Jake, not from State Farm, was an amazing tour guide. My partner, our dog and I really enjoyed the tour. We would highly recommend this tour in the future to anyone who would ask.

If you are looking for a walking tour guide, Liz is your girl! - I can’t say enough great things about Liz our walking tour guide! She is friendly and informative without over saturating you with information. She is a magnificent storyteller and took us through the old walled city of Charleston. Not only did she share interesting historical information but she did so with a story about the people who lived there at the time and their significance in history. We did this with a group of 10 girls on a bachelorette trip in the afternoon and everyone had a great time! One of the highlights of the trip.

Charmed by Charleston (and Liz!) - Liz is an absolute gem! Her tour was the perfect blend of history, insight, and great pacing. She knows so much about Charleston and shares it in a way that’s engaging and easy to follow. You can tell she truly loves what she does and she’s a natural storyteller. Highly recommend!

Best Walking Tour - Liz was the absolute best, hands down! She took a big group of us on such an informative and pleasant tour of the city. It was neat to learn she was a descendent of early settlers in the area. She also added humor in all she said and it was one of the best tours I’ve been on.
