Charleston Old Walled City Tours , Charleston Tours, Charleston Garden and Architecture Tours

Al Ray — a seventh-generation Charlestonian with nearly four decades of guiding behind him — is the anchor name, but guides Eric, Bruce, and others draw equally committed praise for historical fluency and storytelling range. The Architecture and Garden Walk, departing from Meeting and Chalmers, threads through South of Broad and the French Quarter, surfacing wrought-iron details, hidden alleys, and garden glimpses that even repeat Charleston visitors consistently say they'd never locate solo. In a city saturated with walking tours, the small-group cap and native-guide depth are the real differentiators — the ghost tour, running nightly, has carved out its own devoted following alongside the daytime offerings.
