Fun and informative! - Oliver is the best! My wife and I took the Hidden History tour and it was both informative and a blast. Oliver know Charleston inside and out. He’s immersed himself in the city’s rich history going back to the days of the pirates. Oliver is very engaging and fun to be with. I highly recommend Mohawk tours and Oliver. Bob D

This guy knows his Charleston Stuff! - Took one of Oliver's tours not too long ago and am amazed how much he knows about the local history and his city that you usually don't get with most walking tours - and I've done a bunch of them in many cities. So for a memorable tour with a memorable guide, you can't go wrong with the mohawk guy! You will enjoy spending your time with Oliver and learning about this very unique city!

Great unique tour! - Amazing tour!! Oliver is so knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Charleston. He talked about the lesser known history of Charleston and even answered all of my questions. Very professional and so unique! Will be booking again when I have family in town and want a tour!
