About
The Charleston Walking & Storytelling 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 Broad Street, weaving through the French Quarter and past the Old Slave Mart Museum.
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. Stand on the same grounds where many pirates and robber barons met their fate. Learn the true stories of how pirates looted and plundered to make their way.
Last, we turn back up East Bay Street, passing gorgeous mansions and Rainbow Row where we end the tour back at the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon.
Join us for an exploration, an awakening, and an empowerment trip through time in Charleston’s oldest neighborhood.
