Overview
This is the perfect walking tour for the first-time visitor or repeat guest. We’ll cover iconic landmarks such as St. Philip’s Church, the French Quarter, the Dock Street Theatre, Rainbow Row, The Battery, White Point Garden, Calhoun Mansion, and so much more. You’ll get a comprehensive view of Charleston’s architecture, churches, culture, history, people, and even the hidden alleys and lanes often overlooked on other tours. I’ll highlight historic downtown extensively at an easy pace with lots of photo stops and interesting facts you’ll always remember. More ground covered = more beauty experienced.
Charleston is the star.

Jill was amazing and had such great energy! Super fun to walk such a beautiful city with her. We particularly loved that she made a point to show us all the inspirational gardens and talk about the plants and blooming flowers that call Charleston home. Thanks Jill!
