We really enjoyed our tour with Mike. He was very knowledgeable and clearly loves his job. Charleston has so much history and this was a fun way to learn about. Company is well organized. Plan to walk or stand still for 1.5 hours. My daughter wore heels and regretted it! Also, some of us got bit by bugs - consider putting on some bug spray. They have water for sale or bring a bottle - it was nice to have.

Sarah was a great tour guide. She entertainingly wove the history of Charleston in with local ghost tales. I would highly recommend the tour.
