Long before Charleston gave birth to the Civil War, this port city enjoyed wealth unprecedented in America. Charleston rice planters reigned as landed aristocrats, while Charleston shipping merchants amassed fortunes from slaves, rice, and cotton. Your tour will reveal the architectural legacy of this society and tell its story like no other tour.

Talk of the Towne is an owner-operated tour service that values quality over quantity. We offer fully narrated MOTORIZED TOURS aboard 21-passenger minibus. All tours cover six miles of Charleston's Historic District, including the Battery, the Market, and Rainbow Row. Two hour tours include a visit to one of the finest house museums. Our senior guide, Alan Hartley (the most experienced in the industry) is also author of an inexpensive WALKING TOUR BOOK that features 100 points of interest and a centerfold map. If your Charleston vacation is too short for a mediocre tour, trust an expert.
