Walter was very friendly...

DarcyComstock_C, Feb 2026

Walter was very friendly and flexible. He was able to tailor his type on the fly to match my son's interests and questions.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thanks so much. I'm glad that your son wanted to know so much about the history of Greenville. You guys were a lot of fun.

Great intro to Greenville

Karen_A, Jan 2026

This tour gave a nice overview of the history of Greenville as well as a good introduction to the modern side of the city.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to give this review. I'm glad that you enjoyed seeing a modern touch, and it was great to see the unique stuff in the park that I don't even usually see. I hope you and your family get to visit again.

Worth every penny!

Nadine_P, Jan 2026

I learned so much about the history of Greenville in that hour! The old mills, brothels, bootlegging and then the revitalization of the downtown. It was fabulous!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for coming to see me, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. Hopefully you can come back to the upstate again someday.

Greenville tour fantastic

Donald_T, Jan 2026

Walter is extremely knowledgeable about Greenville and surrounding areas. We booked a walking tour, but because of my wife’s knees, he recommended a driving tour and took us to twice as many areas within our hour.
