Such a delightful and informative tour! Anne's knowledge of the History of "her" town was extensive. Walking through little alleys and back streets gave our group of four something to talk about. There is so much more to the Holy City than the traffic filled streets. My Husband and I have been on other tours of Charleston, some walking and... More

Anne was VERY knowledgeable about the area and its rich history. We are four women here on a girls' weekend and have never been to the Charleston area before. It was a great way to get a true sense of the history and charm of this wonderful city. You can feel her love of Charleston in the first words of... More

Bought a groupon for this tour. Started at one end of the old town and wandered through small alleys and back streets to the other end with a chronological history from the first settlers. Anne was very knowledgeable and was able to give a local southern perspective. Lasted a couple hours and we were given lots of tips for other... More

This is a must for all first time visitors to Charleston. Anne's knowledge of the area is impressive. She loves her city and conveys the history as though she lived through it. We would have missed so much without her guidence.

I grew up in the Lowcountry of SC and Anne's tour was exceptional. Because Anne grew up in the Holy City she adds a perspective that most guides can't. The great thing about Anne is that she is knowledgable about all of the historical topics regarding Charleston. Why pay to take a pirate tour, civil war tour, or architecture tour... More

Thanks for the nice review Harold. Although the weather wasn't perfect you were a fun group, and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in Charleston. PS: George Washington did look to Shute's Folly and suggested it would be a perfect place for a fort in 1791. Castle Pinckney was completed 6 years later ;) More

During our trip to Charleston SC for the Festival of Houses and Gardens in April 2013, we decided to add in a walking tour. After reading the abundant information provided on the subject, we (four of us) decided on Anne Middleton Heron's personalized History of Charleston Tour, and we were very glad we did. Anne's knowledge and enthusiasm for the... More

Anne's walking tour was the highlight of our weekend in Charleston! Anne was very informative and friendly; and she laid out the tour in a nice chronological way that made sense. Highlights of the tour for me was 1) the story in Washington Park on the role of the palmetto in South Carolina's history and 2) the events leading up... More

Previously my husband and I have done the Charleston carriage tours which were nice BUT walking with Anne allowed us to see parts of Charleston carriages can not get to.We walked down cobbled alleys full of history that Anne imparted to us in a way only a proud Charlestonian native could. Anne was very entertaining. Ending our 2 hr walk... More
