Overall rating

Our architectural and historical tour of Charleston was thoroughly interesting and enjoyable. Paige presented so much information which gave us a larger perspective on how the area was settled and developed. We are planning a return trip to Charleston to explore the area further due to her fabulous presentation.

Paige was excellent! Great history of the founding of Charleston and how it’s culture was significantly influenced by immigrants and it continues to reflect and embrace those influences today.

Emerson, our guide was excellent! Highly recommend this tour with him!

More explanation of architecture styles beyond building materials

Emerson did an amazing job! He is a history major and it shows!
