The Women's History Tour is an absolute must! Had a blast and learned so much about these unsung heroes of Charleston. The owner is professional, engaging, and offers a wealth of knowledge many other local tours simply cannot compete with. Outstanding!

Hands down the best tour in Charleston!!! I can't say enough good things about the tour and guide. Guide is experienced and you can tell she not only really knows the history, but absolutley loves what she does. Tons of really interesting stories about the people and places of Charleston. If you only have time for one tour during your stay(we took 6) this is the one!

The tour was wonderful. There was so much information and history that I didn't know about...especially the women of Charleston...what they did to influence the culture of Charleston. There were a lot of strong women in Charleston in the last 300 years. I would go again. Leah was so knowledgeable about anything we asked - even off topic.
