Overview of your Charleston tour:

This tour provides a look into Charleston city and country life - all on the same day! This tour also includes a visit to the Edmonston-Alston House in addition to the Middleton Place house museum. You will learn the cultural values of those who were city residents and how their interests and views often differed from their aristocratic, plantation-class neighbors. While their views on war & peace often differed, all Charlestonians aspired to live a gracious and charming life. Even thousands of enslaved during Colonial and Antebellum times worked hard to earn the money to buy their freedom so they too could pursue their dreams. By understanding what motivated Charlestonians to create such a gracious life, you will gain a deeper appreciation of Charleston's beauty and why leading travel publications rank Charleston year after year as Best City USA! With a B.A. in British Civilization, your guide offers just the background needed to reveal what makes Charleston special!
