George_G, Jul 2021
Our tour ended up to be a private tour which was perfect for us since my husband is a slow walker. Ben of Pineapple Tours was an excellent experienced guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his presentation of Charleston's history and architecture.
Stop what your doing and book this amazing tour!!
Caitlin_A, Jun 2021
It is super fun and informative! We were lucky enough to have Benjamin the founder be our guide. The tour took us through all these absolutely beautiful, quiet side streets of the historical areas that we would never have known to walk down ourselves. We learned so much about the true history of Charleston and has a fantastic time.
Winter get-a-way.
