This tour is an exploration of Charleston that highlights the women and men who helped found Charleston and the United States. Did you know, without the pirates and patriots of Charleston, the United States may not exist today? We start our experience in front of the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, one of Charleston’s oldest and most historical buildings. Learn about George Washington’s visit in 1791, and the dungeon’s prisoners who met their fate. Next, we venture down East Bay Street, passing Rainbow Row. Behold gorgeous mansions, and witness breathtaking views of the Charleston Harbor and White Point Garden. Walk in the footsteps of pirates and their captors. Next, we turn inward and walk through Charleston’s South of Broad neighborhood. Learn about the man George Washington and Thomas Jefferson said was the true father of America. Last, we venture back to our starting point, passing by the Four Corners of the Law and the shops and residences on Broad Street.

  • Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    Built in 1771 as a commercial exchange and custom house, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon has been a Charleston landmark for nearly 250 years. Today, it is a non-profit historic site that focuses on the American Revolution and colonial Charleston.
  • Rainbow Row, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    Rainbow Row is the name for a series of thirteen colorful historic houses in Charleston, South Carolina. It represents the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in the United States. The houses are located north of Tradd St. and south of Elliott St. on East Bay Street, that is, 79 to 107 East Bay Street. The name Rainbow Row was coined after the pastel colors they were painted as they were restored in the 1930s and 1940s.
  • Edmondston-Alston House, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    The house is built on the foundation ruins of Fort Mechanic that was at this location in the later part of the eighteenth century. Shipping merchant Charles Edmondston, a Scottish immigrant from the Shetland Islands, had purchased the low sandy lot in 1817. The unstable soggy land was unfit for residential construction until a sea wall was built. Charleston city officials built one in 1820 and Edmondston then started the construction of the house. The antebellum modified Charleston single house (side-hall) was constructed between 1820 and 1828. Edmondston had built the house originally in the English Regency style architecture.
  • Battery & White Point Gardens, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    White Point Garden is a 5.7 acre public park located in peninsular Charleston, South Carolina, at the tip of the peninsula. It is the southern terminus for the Battery, a defensive seawall and promenade. It is bounded by East Battery (to the east), Murray Blvd. (to the south), King St. (to the west), and South Battery (to the north).
  • The Williams Mansion, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    The 24,000-square-foot house has thirty main rooms and many more smaller rooms. The main hall is 50 feet long and 14 feet wide. The house has a ballroom with a 45-foot-high ceiling.
  • Nathaniel Russell House, Charleston, South Carolina, United States
    The Nathaniel Russell House is a historic house at 51 Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. Built by slave trader and wealthy merchant Nathaniel Russell in 1808, it is recognized as one of America's most important Neoclassical houses. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
  • Broad St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA
    The Four Corners of Law is a term commonly used to refer to the intersection of Meeting and Broad Streets. It was coined in the 1930s by Robert Ripley, creator of Ripley's Believe it or Not! and refers to the buildings occupying the four corners of the intersection: St. Michael's Anglican Church (Charleston, South Carolina), constructed between 1752 and 1761, stands on the southeast corner of the intersection. On the northeast corner of the Four Corners is Charleston City Hall, constructed in the Adamesque style between 1800 and 1804. Across the street, on the northwest corner, stands the Charleston County Courthouse. Originally constructed in 1753 as South Carolina's provincial capital, the building was rebuilt in 1792 for use as a courthouse. On the southwest corner is the United States Post Office and Federal Courthouse, built in 1896.

Larry was a great tour guide. Not sure all his history is perfectly accurate but he’s a terrific storyteller. We definitely enjoyed it.

Larry is the best tour guide ever! We had a wonderful two hour walking tour of downtown Charleston but it was not physically strenuous. Larry connected the dots of history to paint a realistic picture of Charleston. I went on this tour with two of my girl friends. Three girls in our young twenties found this tour amazing and incredibly interesting. We covered important/serious topics like slavery’s influence on Charleston but also lighthearted anecdotal stories about different buildings and neighbors we passed. I would attend this tour again! I learned so much and Larry left us with lots of ideas to ponder.

This tour exceeded my expectations. We chose the 3pm tour. It turned out that my husband and I were the only ones on the tour that day. So we wound up having a wonderful personalized experience. Our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge. He was very amusing too. We liked the way the walk and information was planned out. Although there is shade along the way, if you choose this tour during the summer wear sunscreen, a hat, and carry a bottle of very cold water. I definitely recommend this tour.
