Private tour with a 7th generation Charlestonian

Laura_S, Jan 2026

History comes alive in Charleston as you stroll cobblestone streets with Bruce, a 7th generation Charlestonian who has intimate knowledge of the unique social fabric and chronicles of this special town. Bruce literally has keys to the city as he unlocks gates to fabulous private gardens and escorts you into magnificent buildings that are otherwise not open to the public. I highly recommend that you reach out to Bruce after booking with Viator so that he can customize your private tour to maximize your time in Charleston.

Knowledgeable guide. He took us down the alleys and showed us a lot more than most guides do. Enjoyed it!
