I'm Mary C., your private tour guide in Charleston
Guide #4989
Since I am a 5th-generation Charlestonian, I may be a bit biased, but I think you're going to fall in love with this place! I have many years of experience bringing the sights and sounds of Charleston to visitors and newcomers. My tours have been featured in Fodor's Travel Guide and Diversion Magazine. I am also the author of five popular guide books about the area's culture, architecture and history. In addition to being a licensed tour guide, I am a guest speaker at special programs, a freelance writer for local magazines, and a former docent at local historic sites. Before pursuing my current avocation as a tour professional, I was a classroom teacher, and I hold a Master's Degree in Education (from the College of Charleston, of course). Let me introduce you to the city where I've lived my entire life and that has been home to my family for over 170 years. I am licensed by the city of Charleston as a registered tour guide and as a member of Charleston's Palmetto Guild, a designation of local tour guides who have been recognized by the city as committed to historical accuracy, continuing education and providing an engaging experience for visitors. I am also a freelance writer for travel books and local publications.

Mary C. was such a pleasurable guide. My friend and I employed her for a 3 hour walk about Charleston. Mary is a Charleston native with a comprehensive knowledge of Charleston’s history. She is not only knowledgeable but pleasant and conversant during her presentation. I would highly recommend hiring her tour services, I guarantee you will be pleased.

Walking with a local resident is the way to learn about a city! Mary provided not only her knowledge of history and the gentrification of the city but also family and personal stories demonstrating a love of Charleston to our walk. Thank you, Mary!

Mary C. is full of knowledge learned from her research but especially from her generations of family that are a part of the fabric of Charleston's history. We plan to take more tours from Mary as there is so much to learn and appreciate about the city.
