Best tour & tour guide ever!! - Kim a Charleston native gave us a wonderful very informative tour of Charleston! She very carefully wound us through the narrow streets of Charleston continuously giving detailed fascinating stories of its past history & present day renovations. At the end wished we could’ve done it all over again as there was so much to take in! But we definitely hope to tour Charleston next time we visit. Highly recommend this tour & especially Kim our very friendly excellent tour guide!!
