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.

Overview of your Charleston tour
You've seen the French Quarter in New Orleans? Well, Charleston's French Quarter is nothing like it! With a quiet blend of private homes, historic buildings, beautiful gardens, hidden alleys, lovely ironwork and intriguing churchyards, you will enjoy the peace and serenity of the oldest neighborhood in the city. Sidewalks lined with lovely "crape" myrtle and palmetto trees, not to mention the cobblestone streets, photo opportunities abound. Let me introduce you to Charleston with this leisurely 2-hour stroll.
