Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age limit for this tour? I'm thinking of taking my 10-year-old.

A: There isn’t a strict age limit, but it’s more about the child’s ability to walk for a while and stay engaged. Kids who are about 10 and up usually enjoy it. Just keep in mind that some parts have a lot of history, so younger kids might not grasp everything. I took my 12-year-old, and he had a blast!

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Do they cancel?

A: They do try to go ahead with the tour unless it's severe weather. If you’re worried, I’d suggest checking the forecast a day before. I went when it was slightly drizzly, and it added a cool vibe. Just wear a good raincoat!

Q: What's the best way to get to the starting point of the tour in the Historic District?

A: The best way is to park in one of the garages near the City Market. It's a bit of a walk to the starting point, but totally worth it! Also, check for any city events that might affect parking. If you're staying close by, walking is a great option too!

Thinking about gifting the Charm of Charleston tour!

I'm looking at this Charm of Charleston tour for my parents' anniversary. They love history and architecture, and I think this would be perfect! The tour covers so many iconic spots like Waterfront Park and Rainbow Row. Just wondering if anyone's done it and if you thought it was worth it?

Anyone been on the Walk Through Time tour?

I’m considering this tour for an upcoming birthday gift for my sister. She loves exploring new places, especially cities with rich history. How long does the tour usually take? And is it easy for someone who's not super fit?
