ABOUT CHARLESTON INSIGHTS
Whether coming for pleasure or considering purchasing property, Charleston Insights provides the introduction you need to get to know Charleston. Once you begin to tour this city, it will be tempting to focus on Charleston's beauty - especially now that America's oldest historic district and nearby colonial era plantations have been restored to their pre-Civil War splendor. However, Charleston's outward beauty is just part of its charm.
For a deeper sense of what makes Charleston unique, you will also need to discover this city's inner beauty, starting with its richly interwoven social fabric and culture. With a B.A. in British Civilization, your guide has just the background needed to reveal Charleston's genteel and gracious way of life. Beyond sightseeing, you will be shown how Charleston's 17th-century Enlightenment, English aristocratic, and Gullah cultural roots have shaped and distinguished this city for over 350 years.
By viewing Charleston in this light, you will gain greater insight into this city - and a deeper appreciation of why leading travel publications have become so enamored with Charleston since it's recent restoration and rebirth as a city that it has been voted every year since 2011 as the Best City USA!
