Mr. James’ Tour - So Cool and His Jokes are Funny:)

If you want to truly experience the timeless charm and rich heritage of Charleston, this walking tour is an absolute must. Strolling down the historic streets and taking in the breathtaking 18th- and 19th-century architecture feels like stepping back into a more gracious era. Mr. James and his stories were absolute perfection! He brought the grand churches, hidden courtyards, alleyways, antebellum mansions, and iconic pastel facades of Rainbow Row to life with incredible depth and engaging storytelling. The route offers a wonderful blend of scenic beauty and historical context, making it the ultimate way to get acquainted with the Holy City. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates classic elegance, architectural depth, and a memorable, immersive experience;)

I highly recommend this experience.

I highly recommend this experience. We enjoyed the very relaxing atmosphere and southern hospitality, as well as the beautiful large oak trees on the property, which is located close to the famous Angel Oak. We had a great experience, and the tour guide, who was also the trolley driver, was energetic and funny. Inside the gift shop, a video tour of the tea garden's history and processing is offered, and both hot and cold tea tasting is available for free. The gift shop is also well-assorted with all kinds of teapots, making it a great place for collectors of those items, as well as local products such as jam and honey. Of course, they also feature a large variety of American original tea blends and flavored teas from the Bigelow sister brand.

Our guide Brian was so...

Our guide Brian was so very professional. He was in contact with us the day of the tour and made it very easy for us to meet him. Brian knew everything there was to know about the history of Charleston. He presented information in a fun and interesting way. When we shared a bit of our background with him, Brian continually included that part of the towns history throughout the tour. He took the time to make sure we covered everything important. A thoroughly enjoyable tour.

Informative, Delicious Food!

I brought my mother to Charleston for a girl’s Birthday trip in which my sister came along. This walking food tour was fun and the restaurant stops had some of the most flavorful food I have ever had. Simon made the tours with his stories and history commentary of Charleston. He was a wonderland and personable guide. Fun personality. I recommend! Thank you, Simon!
