Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel
Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel
Unlike many tour companies in town that allow up to 20 people in each group, my Charleston tour is guaranteed to have no more than 10. The most unique aspect of my tour is the high level of historical professionalism that I deliver to my guests. Earning a Ph.D.
in history meant spending thousands of hours reading and researching primary sources in the South Carolina archives. I use the knowledge that I have obtained from that hard work and pass it off to you on the tour. Because I limit the number of guests to 10 and offer a tour that is 30 minutes longer than most in town, you will receive a degree of exclusivity and historical depth that is far greater than what is offered by the larger tour companies in Charleston.
