Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Pirates, Patriots & Prohibition tour? Can younger teens come along?

A: The tour recommends that participants be at least 13 years old, as some historical topics discussed may not be suitable for younger kids. However, if your teen is mature and interested in history, they might enjoy it! Just keep in mind that it’s not a ghost tour and focuses more on historical events.

Q: What should we wear for this walking tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: Definitely go for something casual and comfy! You’ll be walking a lot on those cobblestone streets, so wear good shoes. Charleston's evenings can get a bit breezy, so a light jacket might be a good idea, especially if you're by the harbor!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule the tour if it rains?

A: Yes, if the weather doesn't cooperate, you can definitely reschedule. Just contact Heart Of Charleston Walking Tours, and they'll help you find another day that works. They’re pretty flexible about it!

Just did the Pirates, Patriots & Prohibition tour—what an experience!

I just came back from the walking tour in Charleston led by Timothy. It was AMAZING! He shared so many cool stories about pirates and patriots that I had never heard before. The views of the harbor were stunning at sunset. I highly recommend it for history buffs or anyone who wants a unique glimpse into Charleston's past. Just a heads up, make sure to wear comfy shoes—it’s a little more walking than I expected!

Considering getting the walking tour for a friend’s birthday!

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about gifting the Pirates, Patriots & Prohibition tour to my friend for her birthday. She loves history, and I think she’d really enjoy it. Anyone have thoughts on how to book it, or should I just buy a voucher? Also, is it better at dusk or during the day?
