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 12. 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 12 and offer a tour that is 45 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.

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this historical walking tour?

A: There's no strict minimum age for the tour, but it's generally more enjoyable for older kids and adults who can appreciate the historical discussions. Younger kids might find it tough to stay engaged for the full duration. If you're taking someone under 12, just consider their interest level in history!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather looks bad, Eric usually contacts participants to discuss rescheduling options. He’s really flexible and wants everyone to have a good experience. It’s best to keep an eye on the forecast and have a backup plan just in case!

Q: What should I wear for this walking tour?

A: Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes! The tour does cover quite a bit of ground, and you'll want to be ready for that. Dress for the weather too—light layers are great for Charleston's unpredictable climate. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas in the summer!

Just did the Charleston walking tour with Eric, and it was amazing!

I just got back from the historical walking tour with Eric at The Citadel and I can’t recommend it enough! There were only 10 of us, so it felt super intimate. Eric’s knowledge is incredible—he shared stories and details you won’t find in guidebooks. We explored so many cool spots in downtown Charleston, and the extra 45 minutes really made a difference! Perfect for history geeks like me. Thinking of getting this as a gift for my parents who love Charleston!

Thinking of gifting the Charleston walking tour—any thoughts?

I’m considering this walking tour for my husband’s birthday. He loves history, and I think the smaller group size would be perfect. Is it as good as it sounds? What parts did you enjoy the most? Any tips for making it special?
