She even offered to make different arrangements or accommodations because of the rain. She did what most business people Would do in treating their guest properly. That's the difference when you use a small company owned or a large business orientated mind that hires other people To tour you. The price was very fair and reasonable compared to the other companies. I highly recommend.

Someone I work with highly recommended this tour and it was a fantastic experience. Mary Helen made…read moreevery minute entertaining and educational. She adeptly wove her own personal stories and those of the others in the group into a well-constructed narrative. The city really came to life in a unique and charming way and was a highlight of my visit. Great tour for anyone looking for an authentic perspective from a city native.

What can I say, Wow! What a wonderful well curated walking tour. Had the opportunity to take the…read morefoodie tour this past Friday with a friend of mine and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with these ladies. The restaurants selected were well thought out and included several off the beaten trail locations that many people may have just rode right past. This tour introduced us to new yummy places and the history of Augusta. On our tour we stopped at about 5 places and got samples of foods and treats from each. At the end of our trip we also checked out some local stores and got to try some locally made bourbon and vodka. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area or even locals looking for something new to try. This tour is fun and informative without being too stuffy or boring. Everyone in our group had an amazing time and enjoyed the ladies of The Foodie Trot! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

We met in front of Tommy Condon Irish Pub. There's a convenient parking garage across the street. Our reservation was Sunday at 9:30am. Free street parking on Sunday as long as you don't park in the one hour residential designated streets. Scott was our local tour guide for the historical tour of Charleston. He was on time. Before the tour started he informed everyone of the bathroom situation. On our two hours tour he made sure our group didn't block the narrow sidewalks. The historical tour included stops in front of - * St Philips church * Dock Theater * the Old Slave Mart * the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon * the harbor * the old city wall * Rainbow Row * Nathaniel Russell house The tour was a great way for us to familiarize ourselves with the historical district. Then on our own we picked and chose where we wanted to spend more time. Scott offered places to dine suggestions. We actually went to one he suggested on Sullivan Island. He's passionate and offers a thorough tour within the two hours timeframe.

I actually grew up in Charleston and have taken various other tours over the years but Martha told me many interesting things that I had never heard. I feel like I understand the city I grew up in and really our country's history a bit better too after just a two hour tour. Martha gives good perspective and connects things together in a way that gives you a much better understanding. Instead of just telling you what something is, she explains why it's that way. Like why is there stucco over brick here, both environmentally and culturally? I'm very glad I chose this tour and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

This 2 hour walking tour will give you a true understanding of the history of Charleston. Martha…read moredoes an amazing job pointing out all the highlights, facts, and history of the city. She can trace her roots back to the 1600's, so she is a true expert of Charleston. My wife and I are avid walkers and enjoyed the 1.5 mile walk through the city. Even if you aren't in good shape, this walking tour is fairly easy. Just wear comfortable walking shoes. We highly recommend Martha and Charleston Perspective Walking Tour!!

Genuinely Horrible. Not to discourage our tour guide, but…read morewe did the Hidden Gems walking tour. Our tour guide, Marc, obviously just liked to hear himself talk. It was boring, way too long, and not a single "joke" was funny. It lasted about a half an hour longer than it should have. Two hours was an hour and a half too long already. If you like sweating, getting bit by bugs (due to the alley ways) and dying of heat stroke all while it feels like you're back in high school with your least favorite teacher giving a lecture, being told "stand here" "take a picture now" "no move over there" then this is the place for you! Complete waste of money. We're all disappointed. I hate leaving bad reviews, truly I hate bashing someone's passion or career, but I just wanted to warn you all.

It's a walking tour lasting about 3-3 1/2 hours, so make sure you wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Just a heads up: if you're a picky eater or have food allergies, this tour may not be for you. Or if you have bad legs and can't stand or walk for long periods of time then it's definitely not for you. ‍ They don't accommodate substitutions and the food is pre-selected by each restaurant. I went by myself and still had a great time. I met some awesome people in my group, and the tour guide did an amazing job! Definitely worth checking out if you want a fun, social, and different experience in Columbia. I'll definitely be going back and actually eat at some of the restaurants that were featured on the tour!!

Auldbrass Plantation is a private residence and open for one weekend every other year supporting…read morethe Beaufort County by the Open Land Trust. The house is also on the National Register of Historic Places. I was lucky enough to get a ticket and tour the property this year! Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house to fit in with the area's unique landscape. He worked on the project for over twenty years up until his death. The property was in bad shape and close to being torn down before Joel Silver, a Hollywood producer purchased it. Silver with the help of Wright's grandson restored it and completed it to Wright's original plans. The property is on 326 acres (you do not have access to all of it) but bring your walking shoes as there is a lot to see!!! Plenty of parking is available on the main road and then you walk down to the gate to check in and make your way up the driveway. The tour of the main house is guided with a group of 12 and you are taken to certain rooms to view. Photographs are not permitted inside as it is a personal residence but outside you can take as many as you like of the house and the grounds and other buildings. The house is very unique with the copper downspouts that are to resemble Spanish moss to the angles in the house boards that represent the slopes of oak trees to the hexagons just about everywhere. Even the gardens are on an angle. The pool was added by Silver as was the sculpture garden and the theater room. If you can score a ticket to visit this gem, I highly recommend it.
