Lowcountry Walking Tours

Our walking tour was led by Bruce Burris and he had a wealth of Charleston history to share because of his long family history in Charleston. We loved learning about the classic style architecture of the homes and the stories of the families that lived there. We saw gardens and met a few of the local people who were friends of Bruce which made the tour more personal. Would highly recommend this tour especially if Bruce is your guide.

Charleston's Alleys and Hidden Passages: Charleston is such a charming city and the best way to see as much as you can is taking a tour. Captain Jim is a wonderful guide telling stories and history and showing us hidden gems of Charleston on an easy walking tour. He will tell you why it's called a Lowcountry tour and facts about Charleston only locals know. Do the tour - you will be glad you did.

This is a great tour and very informative. I had the pleasure of touring twice while in town, once with Duggar and again with Mark. Both guides shared interesting information on the formation and history of the city while stopping at about 15-20 different locations throughout downtown Charleston. Beautiful city and both guides covered the good, the bad and the ugly, which I greatly appreciated. Nothing was glossed over to paint a prettier picture of SC’s past. There were enough stops along the way that it was a good mix of walking and resting, but make sure to wear comfy shoes and wear your sunscreen!!

Capt. Jim was very knowledgeable and he had plenty of anecdotal stories to keep the tour interesting. I would recommend his services to anyone visiting Charleston

The Charleston's Alleys and Hidden Passages tour led by Capt Jim was excellent. We got to see lots of Charleston highlights as well as beautiful &/or interesting alleys and off the beaten path spots. Capt Jim is very knowledgeable and was adept at relaying points of interests along with their history. Well done! Highly recommend this tour!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of joining Bruce for the Lowcountry Walking Tour of Charleston’s Alleys and Hidden Passages, and we are extremely grateful that he was our guide. His deep knowledge of Charleston, combined with the perspective of someone who grew up here, made the experience both personal and unforgettable. Walking with Bruce felt a little like walking with a local celebrity—he seemed to know someone on nearly every corner! That connection to the community gave us a sense of pride just to be part of his tour. Beyond the fascinating history, Bruce granted us access to courtyards and gardens that the average tourist would never see, which made the experience feel truly special and exclusive. If you want a tour that goes beyond surface-level history and gives you an insider’s look at Charleston’s hidden beauty, we cannot recommend Bruce highly enough. This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Charleston.

I had an absolutely fabulous time on the Downtown Charleston walking tour with Duggar. His knowledge and passion for the history of Charleston really brought this beautiful city to life. Highly recommended!!

Our tour guide, Capt. Jim, was great! He showed us interesting nooks and crannies all around the downtown Charleston area. He answered questions about architecture, plants, history, places to eat, and provided fun trivia along the way! I would highly recommend!
