Charleston’s Finest Historic Tours Welcomes You

Our tours, Charleston’s Finest Historic Tours, are packed with information about what to see and do while in Charleston, SC.

Charleston is a city once known as “Little London” where democracy was nurtured and secession proclaimed! Charleston was often the home of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, and Thomas Sumter, the Gamecock.

John Rutledge was chairman of eleven committees that helped formulate America and finalized the American Constitution. Rutledge has a beautiful home that we look forward to showing you.

 

"A City Set In A Garden"

A tour with us will open doors and garden gates. Charleston has been known as a “city set in a garden” for over 300 years. Flowers you may have in your hometown were probably developed in Charleston or brought to America through Charleston ports.

  • The Noisette Rose established a new class of rose. After being sent to Paris, the flower is all over the world today. Philippe Noisette , who moved to Charleston, developed the first bush rose.
  • The common gardenia is named after Dr. Alexander Garden, a physician and horticulturist, who lived in Charleston prior to the Revolutionary War.
  • Another Charlestonian, Joel Poinsett, was responsible for the world popularity of the Christmas Poinsettia plant. Showing her flowers 12 months a year, Charleston’s love of gardens has made her one of America’s most picturesque cities.

Charleston’s Finest Historic Tours allows visitors a backdrop to explore beautiful homes and planted gardens. The tour includes distinctive homes, churches, and public buildings dating from the Colonial, Antebellum, and Victorian Eras.
