This was a perfect tour for our first time to Charleston. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend.

Eric Lager, Ph.D., provided an engaging, thorough tour. He explained the history of the people and places that make up The Holy City, and further described the architecture of Charleston's buildings, churches and the well-heeled community South of Broad. The tour's length -- nearly three hours -- speaks both to its value and to Eric's ability to hold everyone's interest for the duration of an event that proved to be the highlight of the trip.
Anthony_S, Apr 2024
Engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does! We loved our tour with Eric… highly recommend!
Bianca_Y, Apr 2024
Eric is an amazing tour guide!! The small group made it so we could always hear him at every stop, and he managed to make the tour personable to us as well. We felt very lucky for the depth of knowledge and interconnectedness to the community that Eric possessed. Eric even brought us to places, pointed out things that other tours would normally skip. Highly recommended !

My husband and I participated in this historical walking tour and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide clearly is an expert in historical Charleston and was kind and thoughtful as he navigated us throughout the city. I appreciated the small group size and am going to recommend this tour to my friends who visit in the future.
Jessica_R, Apr 2024
Wonderful tour. I learned a lot. About 1 1/2 miles long with lots of stops. My 70 year old mother was able to do it without any trouble. Highly recommend!
Jennifer_K, Apr 2024
What a wonderful tour! Erik provided a wealth of information about the history of Charleston that I doubt we could have received anywhere else. He was personable, engaging, and showed us many spots we never would have seen on our own. We loved the small group size as well. Highly recommend!
