Highly recommend Liz’s tour - Liz was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the Charleston historical sites by sharing facts and dates, she also brought the stories alive with her personality and humor. What made her tour unique was how she was able link her family history throughout. I highly recommend her tour! Also, Buxton Books is a wonderful meet-up spot and I’d advise getting there early or staying longer to pick up something new to read.
