Geordie is truly Charleston's best, most-informed tour guide. This was the third tour that I have done with him, and it certainly won't be the last! Do yourself a favor and book the French Quarter Walk with Geordie on your next visit to Charleston.

Thank you, Alabama friends, for joining the French Quarter Walk on a quiet Wednesday morning. It was a pleasure guiding you through the Holy City's most historic district and having the inside of the Dock Street Theater and Circular Congregational Churchyard all to ourselves!
