As one of Charleston’s most iconic sites, you can visit this area on any given day and see couples getting their photos taken for engagements or weddings, along with a drove of tourists trying to get a good photograph of the stunning houses.
Charleston City Market
Dating to the late 18th Century, the Charleston City Market is a National Historic Landmark spanning four city blocks. Home to more than 300 daily vendors, this is one of the nation's oldest and largest public markets.
Fort Sumter National Monument
Fort Sumter is a sea fort built on an artificial island protecting Charleston, South Carolina from naval invasion. Its origin dates to the War of 1812 when the British invaded Washington by sea. It was still incomplete in 1861 when the Battle of Fort Sumter began the American Civil War. We will look from the sea wall, but not visit the fort as it sits int he middle of Charleston Harbor
Old Slave Mart Museum
The current structure was once part of a complex of buildings known as Ryan's Mart. The complex had a brick wall enclosed yard, a four-story building that contained a "barracoon" or slave jail, a kitchen and a morgue. We will visit and tell stories about the mart but not enter.

Great tour
Great tour! An amazing amount of education. Beautiful scenery. Our tour guide kept it upbeat and moving.

A great history walking tour
Sara is so good at making history interesting. She walked us through a few different neighborhoods, brought us to the Battery, and through alleys explaining the different architecture. She even recommended an excellent place for lunch.
Response from the operator: Fantastic! Love to hear that a Great Walk was had! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a note…

Great Orientation to the Heart of Historic Charleston
From on time start to finish total immersion in the historic and fun facts of revolutionary Charleston. John not only imparted non-stop knowledge of the history he made it fun with his interpretation of the thought processes of the historical personalities. Who knew G. Washington wore out 2 pair of shoes dancing with over 200 women in a Ball that lasted over 2 nights? John never ran out of information and he strategically had us standing and walking in shade as much as was possible which was also appreciated. Just a small group assured I could always hear and appreciate all the information. We took other tours later that overlapped some of the sites but John's information proved to be more in depth and more fun than any other tours.
Response from the operator: We are so glad to hear it and we love to hear everything in your review! Thank you for taking time out of your vacation to walk with us!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charleston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charleston is not rushed.
Is Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Charleston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charleston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charleston and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Revolutionary Charleston Walks - History Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charleston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charleston?
+
Charleston's best experiences are small: house museum tours with an architectural historian, Gullah heritage walks, harbour sails at sunset and Lowcountry food crawls through the market district. Plantation day trips vary enormously in how honestly they handle the history, and our ranking factors that in directly. On Outty we rank every Charleston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Charleston Eco Boat Cruise with stop at Morris Island Lighthouse. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charleston?
+
March to May and September to November, the two mild shoulder windows. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charleston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
