4 older badass ladies thoroughly enjoyed this tour
An excellent tour with a great, informative tour guide. He was very aware that his tour had 4 older ladies, one with a cane and made sure to lead us to the shade when possible and paced his narrative perfectly.. He answered all of our questions and we thoroughly enjoyed this presentation.
via Tripadvisor
Great walking tour with knowledgeable guide that made us want to be Badass women too!
This was perfect , our guide Jonathan was knowledgeable, entertaining and was considerate of 4 ladies all over the age of 75. He shared lots of stories of historic figures, buildings and Charleston history from Colonial to modern times. His information on the historic women that he focused on were clever and unique. They had great influence on the history of Charleston but rarely if ever are mentioned on other tours. We wish he would write a book and we would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour
The tour by Jonathan is not to be MISSED. From the start of the tour to the tour’s end, we were immersed in history and at times felt like we were living it. Best tour taken in a while! Tracy
via Tripadvisor
Johnathan was a great guide! He was very passionate and knew a lot of things!
It’s not too much walking! This tour was great, the roads/sidewalks aren’t too bad but pay attention when walking. There was some other tours happening too and you can see the horse carriage tours.

Get Ready for an Unexpected Wild Ride in History
Jonathan's tour was such an unexpected delight. He navigated our small group through Charleston and took us back in time with the tales of the brave and intrepid women who made up Charleston's past, and recent past too. You can tell he is passionate about the subject and it is a tour for all ages. I highly reccomend.

The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charleston.
How much does The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 202 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour?
+
Around 71 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 The Badass Broads of Charleston 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 Charleston historical walking tour with a Professor of History at The Citadel, Historic Charleston Guided Sightseeing Walking Tour, Hidden Alleyways and Historic Sites Small-Group Walking Tour. 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.
What is included in The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour?
+
Included: A 2 hour guided walk with a licensed tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour?
+
We will meet at 159 Church Street....this is a coffee shop in the Historic District of Charleston. Your guide will be wearing a light blue collared shirt that says, "JWalk Tours." He will be at the coffee shop. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to The Badass Broads of Charleston Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
