She even offered to make different arrangements or accommodations because of the rain. She did what most business people Would do in treating their guest properly. That's the difference when you use a small company owned or a large business orientated mind that hires other people To tour you. The price was very fair and reasonable compared to the other companies. I highly recommend.

I actually grew up in Charleston and have taken various other tours over the years but Martha told me many interesting things that I had never heard. I feel like I understand the city I grew up in and really our country's history a bit better too after just a two hour tour. Martha gives good perspective and connects things together in a way that gives you a much better understanding. Instead of just telling you what something is, she explains why it's that way. Like why is there stucco over brick here, both environmentally and culturally? I'm very glad I chose this tour and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

She can trace her roots back to the 1600's, so she is a true expert of Charleston. My wife and I are avid walkers and enjoyed the 1.5 mile walk through the city. Even if you aren't in good shape, this walking tour is fairly easy. Just wear comfortable walking shoes. We highly recommend Martha and Charleston Perspective Walking Tour!!

Genuinely Horrible. Not to discourage our tour guide, but…read morewe did the Hidden Gems walking tour. Our tour guide, Marc, obviously just liked to hear himself talk. It was boring, way too long, and not a single "joke" was funny. It lasted about a half an hour longer than it should have. Two hours was an hour and a half too long already. If you like sweating, getting bit by bugs (due to the alley ways) and dying of heat stroke all while it feels like you're back in high school with your least favorite teacher giving a lecture, being told "stand here" "take a picture now" "no move over there" then this is the place for you! Complete waste of money. We're all disappointed. I hate leaving bad reviews, truly I hate bashing someone's passion or career, but I just wanted to warn you all.

We met in front of Tommy Condon Irish Pub. There's a convenient parking garage across the street. Our reservation was Sunday at 9:30am. Free street parking on Sunday as long as you don't park in the one hour residential designated streets. Scott was our local tour guide for the historical tour of Charleston. He was on time. Before the tour started he informed everyone of the bathroom situation. On our two hours tour he made sure our group didn't block the narrow sidewalks. The historical tour included stops in front of - * St Philips church * Dock Theater * the Old Slave Mart * the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon * the harbor * the old city wall * Rainbow Row * Nathaniel Russell house The tour was a great way for us to familiarize ourselves with the historical district. Then on our own we picked and chose where we wanted to spend more time. Scott offered places to dine suggestions. We actually went to one he suggested on Sullivan Island. He's passionate and offers a thorough tour within the two hours timeframe.

Was the rest of our trip so underwhelming that our excursion with Lowcountry Walking Tours exceeded all other expectations? Perhaps we just lucked out with the optimal factors to catapult our urban trek to a noteworthy high. I can't point my finger at any particular indicator that the rest of our Charleston trip was subpar, so I'm concluding that our tour was truly outstanding. First off, the late-January weather was flawless; it was perfect for spending a few sun-drenched mid-morning hours strolling around Charleston's French Quarter. Second, Captain Jim kept us entertained with enchanting history lessons, snappy quips, and fascinating details we would have undoubtedly overlooked as unwitting tourists. Finally, we'd opted for the Hidden Alleyways and Passages tour and it did exactly what it says on the tin. We wandered down tucked-away paths that I never would have thought were accessible to the public (let alone take me anywhere desirable). If you're visiting Charleston and looking for an affordable way to learn about the city and obtain a deeper appreciation for its rich history, I unhesitatingly recommend Lowcountry Walking Tours.

She took the time to point out how to get the best shots of the various buildings and sights. My youngest daughter is thinking about becoming a photographer and Joyce took the time during and at the end of the tour to give her pointers and encouragement. I definitely recommend anyone looking to do a walking tour of Charleston to sign up with Joyce. You will not regret it. Joyce's walking tour was one of the best tours my family and I went on and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Though I have been an avid amateur photographer for a while, I quickly learned some new techniques thanks to Joyce. The walk we took traversed the heart of downtown Charleston, from Meeting Street to the Battery. The pacing was good, and the mix of city history and photography tips was great. The tour ran a few minutes over 2 hours, and none of our group was in a hurry to be done. If I returned to Charleston on another visit, I'd book one of the other tours Joyce gives as my new starting point. Highly recommended.
