About this activity

Travel through Charleston’s most iconic neighborhoods with a knowledgeable local guide who brings the city’s history to life.

You will also pass the Four Corners of Law, one of the city’s most significant landmarks.

Routes and sites visited may vary daily due to traffic, weather, or special events. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors, couples, and travelers seeking a smooth, informative overview of Charleston in a smaller group setting.
