Disappointing!

The 2 hours spent with Bill was not my favorite. Highlights were the theater and the slave museum. Bill spent quite a bit of time complaining about Charleston City politics and how covid restrictions are bankrupting him. Understandably he is angry about the situation, I just wish he would have spent more time on Charleston history.

Our guide Bill was terrific. We learned so much about the history of Charleston and the South from him as we saw the places where it happened. Bill highlighted the history of the individual buildings we saw as well as the town in general. We enjoyed every minute!

Our tour guide was great. He provided a great perspective and not just some boring history tour. When I come back some day I will definitely do this tour again.

Initial words were...he will “dumb it down” for the group, and throughout his “LECTURE ” on ethics and religion, he touted his own accomplishments and education over and over. Did not learn much about Charleston, but know how many tours he does and that he can’t wait for this last tour to be over so he can have a rest. Yes, we left after 1 and 1/2 hours, realizing we would learn more from our phones. By the way.. these “country bumpkins” have doctorates
