    History from a local

    Michele_S, Mar 2025
    Skip shared many stories and interesting facts about Columbia and its history. His tour was enhanced by his own family’s longtime legacy in the surrounding Columbia area. We appreciated the prompt start and he was kind enough to extend the time and share more insights for those interested. We would recommend this tour to history buffs and anyone interested in learning about Columbia SC.
