Your group will embark on a historical journey as we stroll along the waterfront, marvel at the antebellum homes lining Charleston's famous battery, and immerse ourselves in the ambiance of White Point Gardens. Continuing into the heart of the historic district, our walking history tours traverse Meeting Street, unveiling the beauty of its mansions and exploring avenues teeming with history, showcasing everything from colonial homes to grand churches, and even the very balcony where George Washington stood 233 years ago.

Charleston isn’t known for its straight and level sidewalks – that’s why we don’t recommend wheelchairs, electric scooters, or walkers on our walking tours.
We spend some time sitting in the shade. However, it can also be hot and humid in Charleston in the summer – in addition to comfortable walking shoes. You may want to bring an umbrella if it looks like rain and bottled water.
Parking in Charleston can be difficult. The best parking for this tour is in the garage across from Fleet Landing restaurant. If you put Fleet Landing in your GPS it will take you right to the garage. Find additional information on parking in Charleston on our Travel Tips page.
If you are going to take a tour, you should always dress according to Charleston's variable weather. Comfortable shoes are recommended on all walking tours, bring water in summer, and carry an umbrella if rain is likely. Check the local weather forecast on our Travel Tips page.
Restrooms are available at the start of the walking tour, and occasionally in the middle. (It's not always open) We'll make every effort to assist if needed. Read more about public restrooms on our Travel Tips page.
Just give us a call. It's a private tour so we can work with you to make it as accommodating as possible.
Unfortunately, No. We uphold the longstanding tradition of walking tours, continuing rain or shine. You can switch to another tour if available. We'll always strive to accommodate you or provide a rain check for a future walking tour.
If for some reason we cancel the tour for weather-related safety, you will be refunded. You can read more about it on our Terms & Conditions page
Strollers are welcome on our tours, but due to the nature of the tour and limited level sidewalks in Charleston, it's unsuitable for walkers, electric scooters, or wheelchairs.
Our walking tours cover a distance of approximately 2.5 miles and last approximately 2.5 hours. Fear not – we stroll at a relaxed pace, and we're the only historic tour in Charleston that incorporates seated breaks. Please keep in mind. The tour can run a little longer if people ask a lot of questions or spend time taking pictures. So give yourself some time between appointments.
Not normally. Our walking tours are thoughtfully designed, with a portion involving sitting in the shade. While it's a historic tour, and walking is a part of the experience, we maintain a leisurely pace without overdoing it.
