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.

We are so grateful for Linda and the time she spent providing us with the tour of Charleston and Boone Plantation. She was incredibility knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and very accommodating to our needs. She was very pleasant, and she took the time to ensure we had seen and heard everything that we wanted. I would definitely recommend Linda for anyone wanting to see Charleston and the surrounding areas.

Linda was a wonderful tour guide. It was really fun to take the side streets and learn all the little details of Charleston that you would not get on a big tour. Highly recommend her!

If you are touring Charleston then Linda is your guide. I never had a guide with so much history and knowledge of an area. She is a five generation resident so I suppose that helps. She made our day with this tour. On top of her knowledge she is a great personality and was a joy to spend the day with.

Highly recommend Linda. She knows Charleston and it's history and provided well researched commentary about the historical events and personal accounts of more recent events that have had an effect on the city. Tom and Judy Lake Oswego OREGON

Linda is not only an experienced and excellent guide she is also an historian. Her historical perspective of the decline and the recovery of the city was educational and interesting. We passed a lovely day with her and recommend her without reservation.
