Our tour guide, Evans, was funny, knowledgeable and full of information both popular and unsung about Charleston that made the tour so enjoyable. His horticultural expertise added to the experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide was remarkably knowledgeable. He kept it fun and interesting. I asked if he was a history teacher. He wasn't, but boy he sure would have made a great one.

Our guide is what made our walk the best! He told us interesting stories as we went and his knowledge AND love of both Charleston were so evident! The story about Richard Smalls will forever stick with me. I think what separates Evans from anyone else is his sense of humor! When I return, I will definitely go again, and will make sure Evans is the guide!
