Great experience with fantastic food!

Sarah_M, Aug 2026

Highly recommend Dana as a tour guide! We love walking tours as a way to see a new city, and it's all about the quality of the guide. She was immediately welcoming and easygoing when we arrived and started us off with a quick local snack before heading out. Dana has a deep knowledge of Charleston history - both past and present - and a compelling story-telling style to keep us interested - despite the oppressive heat on the day of our tour. We enjoyed both restaurant stops and had plenty to nibble on during the tour. A great way to spend your time in Charleston!

Informative and Accommodating Tour!!!

Great tour. Lots of history. Our guide was amazing and very accommodating with the heat, traffic patterns, and overall city nuances.

Fun Charleston Architecture and Eats!

Susan_Z, Jun 2026

From beginning to end Dana was attentive and knowledgeable. It was just my daughter and I celebrating her college graduation. We learned about the local Charleston architecture, French Huguenot Church, St. Phillip’s Church, Rainbow, Waterfront Park, Pineapple Fountain, enjoyed Callie’s Hot Little Biscuits, Poogan’s Smoke house for BBQ sliders, collard greens and corn bread, and finished off with the most amazing coffee and Gelato at Carmella’s. Dana was fun, accommodating and knowledgeable. If you want a good time and an overview of Charleston, take this tour!
