Fabulous Learning Experience (and fun too)

We had a fabulous time with Paul on our Uniquely Charleston Tour. We shared dinner and talked about the local history, including how the local bricks were laboriously made by the enslaved people. Paul is an incredible host - funny and very well-informed. He's a great teacher. I'd like to take another tour to learn more. Highly recommend him!!!

Personalized tour of Charleston

I grew up in Charleston and brought my husband with me on a weekend vacation who had never been here before. I didn’t have any clue how to share the cultural and historical experience of the city with him and somewhat fortuitously, I ran into Paul at a family friend’s graduation party and he happened to be available for a custom tour the next morning! Paul is incredibly knowledgeable about aspects of the city you’d never find in brochures, tour books, or on normal tours. The details he draws attention to are thought provoking and something one might easily miss if they didn’t know to look for it, like handprints on bricks, name changes on store fronts, window panes and brick patterns that indicate when a house was built... When Paul describes the history of the city, it’s easy to envision the scene unfolding before your very eyes. My dad did a tour with Paul the day before us and then again with us and he said it was totally different than what was covered on his previous tour. Paul knows what he’s talking about and I’d highly recommend him as a tour guide! My husband was totally impressed by Paul’s obvious research and passion.
