Powered by Viator
New Orleans, LA
History ✦ Famous Places ✦ Epic Lives ✦ Hilarious Scandal Share a local's love for 300 years of our city's history, and learn the stories of those famous locales you've always read about. Hear about famous French Quarter figures who led epic lives, such as a pirate, a voodoo queen, and Baroness. We bring the private tour experience to every tour we host, by limiting the experience to small groups, and personalizing every tour for you. The early native settlers called the area Bulbancha -- "the land of many tongues" -- and used as a trading post. From there, on to the early French & Spanish colonies, all the way to the jazz age, and the birthplace of modern music! We go beyond just names and dates, and share a connection to our city, and its famous stories, that you'll never forget.

Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel
5.0 (1261)
Powered by Viator
Charleston, SC
Unlike many tour companies in town that allow up to 20 people in each group, my Charleston tour is guaranteed to have no more than 12. The most unique aspect of my tour is the high level of historical professionalism that I deliver to my guests. Earning a Ph.D. in history meant spending thousands of hours reading and researching primary sources in the South Carolina archives. I use the knowledge that I have obtained from that hard work and pass it off to you on the tour. Because I limit the number of guests to 12 and offer a tour that is 45 minutes longer than most in town, you will receive a degree of exclusivity and historical depth that is far greater than what is offered by the larger tour companies in Charleston.
