Frank, thank you for showing us Charleston in a way that recognized the contributions of black Americans. Your passion was evident, and the 2 hours flew by. We did a tour of another city a few days later and we saw things through a different lens. Sincere thanks for the unforgettable experience.

Fantastic tour! Higley recommended. Don't skip this one. You will learn more than on one of the whitewashed carriage or other tourist trap tours

Franklin was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and very interesting. He knew the dates and provided explanations of significant events and people who made a difference. He knew the black history of Charleston and shared his perspective. For us, it was a learning experience. 5 stars
