Excellent tour. - We had a fantastic experience on a historical walking tour of Charleston, SC, led by a professor from The Citadel. The tour was refreshingly intimate, with a small group size that made it feel very personalized. The professor’s knowledge of Charleston’s history is truly impressive. His background in historical research really shines through, offering insights that you wouldn’t typically get on a standard tour. The extra time spent on this tour was well worth it, as it allowed for a more in-depth exploration of the city’s rich history. If you’re looking for a unique and informative tour of Charleston, we highly recommend this one. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the history of this fascinating city.

Comprehensive Historical Tour - Eric was a knowledgeable tour guide who provided an interesting, fun, and comprehensive historical tour of the oldest parts of the city of Charleston.

You Won't Be Disappointed! - Eric's historical walking tour was recommended to us by a relative who told us, "You WON'T be disappointed!" Boy, she was right!! Eric genuinely loves history, as well as Charleston…and he enjoys sharing these with visitors to the area. This is plain to see as he eagerly shares his extensive knowledge in thoughtful and engaging ways. The content of Eric's tour was interesting, meaningful, and relevant. It gave us a rich introduction to Charleston's unique history, culture, and people, and made all of our other experiences in the area that much more meaningful. We appreciated having a smaller group size that allowed us to ask more questions and engage in conversation with Eric. We also appreciated his sensitive to the physical demands of the tour, giving us a well-timed break at Four Corners. The whole tour was so good, we were actually a little sad when it ended. Eric and his excellent tour were definitely a big hi-light of our trip!

Must Do Tour of Charleston - My wife and I went to Charleston on an anniversary trip in June 2024. I had been many times in the past, but it was always for a wedding or something quick and I never had the chance to just walk the city and look around. We found this tour on Trip Advisor and thought it would be interesting. I have to say, I was blown away by how much we enjoyed it. First thing to note is that this is with a smaller group of people, so, it's more intimate and allows for questions. Eric is a very accomplished historian and has forgotten more than most people know. He is also very friendly and encourages questions from the group. Anybody can walk around Charleston and point and say look, there's x house or y building, but, going on Eric's trip, he really was able to link you to history of how things happened, what happened, and provide key insights to architecture, anecdotes, and point out key historical happenings and markers that most people are probably not aware of. I would consider this tour to be a "must do" if you are eager to learn about the city of Charleston.

Most knowledgeable tour guide if you're a history buff. - We didn't want to take our cruiseship's excursion so we booked this small group (12 people). You won't find a better tour guide than Eric, he knows his history being a history professor. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and his narration. The meeting point was easy to find. I highly recommend.

Excellent tour - Excellent! This is a long overdue review from our November tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly cares -- even greeting people at sites along the way by name. Highly recommend this!

Great tour of historical Charleston! - Eric was a wonderful, very knowledgeable tour guide. There were 12 people in our group, which was quite manageable. He clearly related so much history of the city, as well as some stories from his life which made for a more personal experience. We saw & learned about many of the usual attractions- buildings, churches, areas south of Broad St- while trying to stay in the shade as much as possible since it was 90+ degrees! In the beginning, each person in our group introduced themselves and said where they were from. Then, as we were walking on the tour, I was impressed because he remembered where people were from and talked individually with people about that.

Informative and most of all fun! - Was a great walking tour!! Gave interesting history and information about Charleston.. he would be the teacher I would want for history, makes you want to learn more! Thank you again.

Eric was amazing! - Eric provided a wealth of information in an interesting and detailed tour that provided a very special understanding of Charleston and its history. His presentation along the way was insightful and entertaining. I would highly recommend Eric for this tour. Best tour we have ever taken!
