Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the walking tour?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions for the Private Walking Tour of Historic Charleston. It's suitable for all ages! However, keep in mind that younger kids might get tired during the two-hour walk, so if you’re bringing little ones, consider if they can handle the pace. Tim, the guide, is super accommodating, though, and can adjust the tour to suit the group's needs.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it casual?

A: Definitely keep it casual! Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a lot on cobblestone streets. I'd suggest wearing lightweight clothing, especially in the summer heat. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas too, just in case. Charleston can get pretty sunny!

Q: Is there a need to reschedule if the weather looks bad?

A: Yes, if the weather looks really bad, like heavy rain or thunderstorms, it's best to reschedule. Heart of Charleston Walking Tours will work with you to find a new time. Just keep an eye on the forecast as your tour date approaches. Otherwise, a little drizzle won’t stop the tour, but it can get slippery!

Considering the Private Walking Tour for a birthday gift!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about gifting this Private Walking Tour of Historic Charleston for my mom’s birthday. She’s always loved history and has never been to Charleston. I heard Tim is a fantastic guide. Do you think it’s a good choice? What should I make sure to tell her to prepare?

Just did the walking tour and it was amazing!

I went on the Private Walking Tour of Historic Charleston last week with my partner and it was such an incredible experience! Tim shared so many fascinating details about the history of the city. We saw Rainbow Row and some beautiful gardens. It was the perfect way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting or even locals looking for a fresh perspective!
