Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my Tours By Locals page. My friends call me Kay and I would love to bring to life for you the history, architecture, and personality that makes me love Charleston so much. I have lived in various regions of the US over the years and when my husband and I moved to the south many years ago, it was like coming home! My love of teaching, history, and meeting new people are the perfect combination to lead you on a unique tour through Charleston and share our remarkable history. Whether you are interested in our centuries of gorgeous architecture, our significant political and military history, slavery and the Gullah culture, or the compelling stories of the residents of Lowcountry plantations, my goal is to keep you interested and engaged during your entire tour! I have a Master's Degree in Education and I am an AMI certified Montessori teacher. I am also a Certified Guide for the City of Charleston, a member of the Palmetto Guild and the Charleston Tour Association. I am certified as a Head Docent with the Charleston Horticulture Society and I participate in continuing education monthly to keep my certification active! I love customizing my tours so everyone has a good time! If you don't see what you are looking for in my published tours, please reach out to me so I can help customize a tour for your time and interests. I live with my husband, two teenage children, two easy going labradors and one speedy cat. If you are planning a trip to visit Charleston, let me show you why so many people fall in love with this charming city. I did years ago on my first visit and I do again, every time I share its wonders with others.
