History Tours
Our Private Walking and Driving Historic Tours will take you through the streets of the nation’s first Historic District. Charleston’s preservation efforts have left beautiful buildings looking like they did when we were one of the largest cities in the colonies. Antebellum mansions with cobblestone streets decorate the neighborhoods of the peninsula. Elaborate ironwork and elegant gardens will captivate you as our guides lead you through White Point Garden and the historic mansions south of Broad Street. Learn about the Old City Market and why Rainbow Row was painted that way.
Hear stories about the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon, where pirates and war criminals were once held. Or your party could decide to take an afternoon tour of one of the historic plantations. Many of the original houses and structures still stand or have visible remnants. You could easily spend the day exploring their historic gardens and grounds.
* Contact us if you have questions regarding the areas of town that will be included in your tour. While we can’t guarantee that your tour will stop at every exciting location in town, we can guarantee a truly unique experience for your party.
