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.

Someone I work with highly recommended this tour and it was a fantastic experience. Mary Helen made…read moreevery minute entertaining and educational. She adeptly wove her own personal stories and those of the others in the group into a well-constructed narrative. The city really came to life in a unique and charming way and was a highlight of my visit. Great tour for anyone looking for an authentic perspective from a city native.

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.

This 2 hour walking tour will give you a true understanding of the history of Charleston. Martha…read moredoes an amazing job pointing out all the highlights, facts, and history of the city. 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!!

Excellent tour! Martha is an anthropologist and is very friendly and interesting to talk to. She…read morewas open to questions and we greatly enjoyed our tour. 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.

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.

Hands down Mike was the best tour guide. Not only did he know his history but his calmness made…read morethe ghost tour even better. His story telling and his facial expressions gave the tour a more visceral effect. The way he told the stories made the hairs on the back of your neck crawl. We could've listened to him much longer than the 1.5 hours. The time went by so fast you didn't realize it was over. The walking isn't too bad. Take this your you won't regret it.
