Walk the historic streets of Charleston, and follow in the footsteps of revolutionaries, patriots, pirates, planters, Southern belles, slaves and, finally freedmen.  Explore the city and learn the history, legends, lore, city secrets and facts about one of the oldest, most well-preserved and beautiful cities in America!  The tour can also be biked or driven.

Why take a guided tour that costs over $20 per person when you can walk at your own pace, see the same landmarks, hear the same history and stories at a fraction of the cost? The Charleston Self Guided Walking Tour is 28 pages with 100 of the city's most famous landmarks that includes modern color and vintage photos.  The total route is 3.6 miles that can take anywhere from 2-4 hours....it all depends on your speed and pace.  A center-fold easy to read route map is included with numbered points of interest to keep you on track.

  • The Battery and its mansions
