Charleston Trip Overview
Charleston was one of the wealthiest cities in the south until the Civil War broke out and destroyed everything that city had built up. Your private walking tour will be led by a local expert who will share stories jam-packed with four centuries of history. Stroll past pretty painted houses and the waterfront whilst hearing about how the slave-trade developed and evolved. As the city is flat, it’s easy to walk around as you soak up its history and hear how hard Charleston has worked to overcome the complexities of the past to be one of the most hospitable cities in the south.
