What locals are saying

Walks of Charleston earns its reputation almost entirely through TripAdvisor word-of-mouth rather than social buzz — reviewers consistently single out named guides like Amy Tankersley and Evans for deep local knowledge, personalized storytelling, and restaurant tips that go beyond the standard script. The two-hour format gets high marks as an orientation tool for first-timers, though at least one regular notes that 2 hours is about the mental limit before the history overload sets in. The tour market in Charleston is crowded, and Walks of Charleston competes by leaning on licensed, city-certified guides and a sister brand (Lowcountry Walking Tours) for smaller, more intimate groups — a niche that regulars seem to appreciate over larger bus-style alternatives.

On socials

Walks of Charleston draws very little dish-level or creator-driven chatter on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter — it's a walking history/ghost tour company, not a restaurant, so food-influencer coverage is essentially absent. What social-adjacent commentary exists praises specific guides by name (Evans is called out repeatedly as exceptional) and frames the tour as 'the best way to get oriented' in Charleston. A few travel bloggers describe it as the go-to historic district walkabout for first-timers, with ghost-tour nights singled out as especially memorable.
