If you don’t feel that you can see all of the city’s highlights on your own, consider taking advantage of the many tours that are offered in Charleston. By foot, boat or bus, there are quite a variety of tours that take you through historic churches, museums, on boat and dinner cruises, through house museums, across plantations and gardens and tours that even take you to see the ghosts that haunt Charleston!
Spend one of your days taking a walking tour through Charleston. There are several thematic walking tours to choose from, and the tours typically last 90 minutes and cover a mile or less. So, if you are up for it, schedule a couple of walking tours in a day, or schedule one tour a day on a few different days of the week. Here is a sampling of some of the themes the walking tours offer by the Original Charleston Walks company:
• Charleston’s Pirates and Buccanneers
• Slavery and Freedom
• The Patriots of Charleston
• Historic Homes
• The Civil War
• The Ghosts and Legends of Charleston
Because Charleston is one of the most beautiful harbor towns in the country, you may want to spend some time on a harbor cruise that educates and shows you the indigenous wildlife in the area, stately homes and manors, historic churches, national military monuments and more from the water. If you’re feeling romantic, sign up for a dinner cruise and learn about the sites as the sun is setting.
