I am a native of Charleston and a member of a well-known family whose local origins reach back through the ages. A professional and City of Charleston-licensed guide since 1983, I have provided guide services for individuals, families, and meeting and conference professionals on the national and international levels. I am highly respected and much sought-after as a speaker to the myriad of corporations and organizations that elect to convene in the Carolina Lowcountry. I will paint for you a colorful canvas of the area's foundation and expansion, utilizing not only architectural, cultural, and religious facts, but also that always-entertaining information available only to those who are from here. My media features include Good Morning America; WGBH {public television} in Boston; the London Times; British BBC; and Southern Living Magazine, amongst many others. Please come and join me in Charleston! Licensed as a tour guide by The City of Charleston.

Charleston is considered the jewel of the southeastern United States and "America's Best-kept Secret". Through occupation, economic hardship, fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes, Charleston has exhibited a remarkable resilience. History is found literally around every corner, and the city is often called a living museum. As we meander through the streets of Charleston you will begin to appreciate the city's charm and allure; the cobblestone streets, varied architectural styles, and world-famous "basket ladies" can be found nowhere on the planet except in this remarkable town. Your journey through Charleston will consist of a comprehensive tour of the city's Historic District, where you'll indulge in fascinating history, from Hibernian Hall, a National Historic Landmark and the site of the 1860 National Democratic Convention. And you'll surely notice the lack of high-rise buildings and abundance of church steeples hence the city's moniker of the "Holy City"; two of the most notable include St. Michael's.
Our day and the time we start the tour is flexible and is meant to accommodate your schedule and interests. We will stop at one or more of the following locations: - White Point Gardens at the Battery - The Four Corners of Law - The Citadel - . . . and more! Don't forget your camera: there are lots of stops for photo opportunities!
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
We will tour in my 2016 Sienna van.
