FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ?

​

 **WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE YOUR TOUR OVER THE SO VERY MANY OTHERS ?

​

That is an excellent question! KING COTTON, SLAVERY & THE PLANTER ARISTOCRACY is the ONLY TOUR IN CHARLESTON that is giving an accurate, provocative and UNCENSORED account of the history of RACIALLY BASED SLAVERY. in Charleston or  in America. This walking tour is the most compelling "Cliff Note" of over over two years of non stop research including more than  100 books on the History of Slavery.

 

When you compare that to the five pages that we were given as a resource in order to become a City of Charleston Licensed Tour Guide, the choice becomes very easy to make.. The truth is that even though CHARLESTON WAS THE EPICENTER FOR THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE  here in North America, we as a city and as a collection of Tour Guides are not giving this subject the respect and the place it deserves. UNTIL NOW!

 

​**HOW LONG DOES THE TOUR LAST ?

​

A typical walk is roughly two hours and covers about one square mile. The terrain is flat and the pace of our walk is easy. Often times upon completion of our walk a Q & A spontaneously begins. and we welcome that. Our goal is always simply to enhance your Charleston experience and we are always happy to stay and answer any questions you might have.

 

​**I LIKE A GOOD DEAL, DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE ?

**DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING ?

 

Just a good energy, an open mind and maybe a bottled water and a snickers bar :).

YES!, as long as their is space available AND the tour was previously booked by at least two people. We recommend that you do book in advance to ensure your rightful place on our walk. The City of Charleston limits each walking tour to a maximum of 20 people. We do however provide credit card processing on site as well and accept cash too.

​

​

Yes absolutely, children under 6 are admitted free. You are also welcome to bring your doggies. Tour Charleston Today loves dogs too!

 

**IS YOUR TOUR ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS ​?

​

Yes it is if you feel like you are able to do a 1 mile walk over the course of two hours. The pace of the walk is on the slower side and we have had many people with disabilities enjoy our tour.

​

​We do so  look forward to SHARING WHAT WE KNOW & LOVE ABOUT THE HOLY CITY WITH YOU! ! After you take a walk with us  "YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT CHARLESTON IN THE SAME WAY EVER AGAIN !"
