Explore some of Charleston's enchanting alleyways and historic sites on this small group, 2-hour walking tour. With our small group tours, you are guaranteed a more intimate and up-close experience. Charleston's alleyways are fortunately located within the popular historic district which allows us to include some well known points of interest and go a little "off the beaten path” while exploring the history and beauty of Charleston's enchanting alleyways. Generally, we include between four to six different alleyways/passages as well as popular points of interest like Rainbow Row and of course, tons of history! These pedestrian passageways are often overlooked, but walking along these cobbled paths is an opportunity to appreciate Charleston's rich history and hidden, more intimate charms.
Admission to the Powder Magazine Museum is included with the price of your walking tour. Visit at your leisure before or after the tour.

Interesting stories throughout the talk. The history and anecdotes are fascinating and informative. Also enjoyed our guide, Al’s, demeanor and obvious love of the city. 4 stars given because we got off to a bit of a slow start standing around talking in parking lot going over ground rules, etc. ...

Was fun and educational. Mark is inspired for what he doe and passes that enthusiasm on. :) OK...it was really great, perfect amount of time, and very interesting with lots of information and the opportunity to see the city in a way that would be hard to do on your own. Thanks !
