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.

Overview of your Charleston tour

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.
