Hi, I’m Ronnie! Charleston has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve come to know its neighborhoods, hidden corners, and layered stories not just as a visitor, but as a local deeply connected to the community. I’ve always been drawn to adventure, education, and people. Over the years, I’ve led everything from day-long whitewater kayaking trips to month-long backpacking expeditions in Alaska, experiences that taught me how powerful travel can be when it brings people together. Today, I bring that same energy and sense of connection to my tours in Charleston. While Charleston has many wonderful guides, my approach is different: I focus not only on telling history, but on helping guests connect with it. I believe the most memorable travel experiences happen when stories feel personal, engaging, and relevant to your own interests. Rather than a cookie-cutter script, each experience is thoughtfully curated to match what you’re most curious about, whether that’s culture, food, Jewish history, or the hidden stories that many visitors miss. My goal is simple: to help you experience Charleston in a way that feels meaningful, memorable, and uniquely yours. I look forward to exploring the city with you!

Overview of your Charleston tour
Short on time but want to experience the very best of Charleston, plus a few hidden gems? This tour is for you. We’ll explore over 350 years of history, from Charleston’s founding in the 1670s through the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and into modern times. We’ll visit iconic sites like the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, the Four Corners of the Law (including the building that inspired the White House!), and the colorful homes of Rainbow Row. We’ll also slip into tucked-away spaces like Philadelphia Alley, rich with local lore. This tour doesn’t shy away from complexity. We’ll discuss Charleston’s role in the slave economy, the courage of Black Charlestonians who resisted oppression, and the immigrant communities, including Jewish and French Huguenot settlers, who helped shape the city. Most importantly, this experience is tailored to you. I adapt the experience to your interests so you leave with a deeper understanding of Charleston, and an unforgettable start to your visit.
