ABOUT CHARLESTON INSIGHTS
When first touring this city, it is often tempting to focus on Charleston's beauty, especially now that America's oldest historic district and plantation gardens have been restored to their pre-Civil War grandeur. Yet, Charleston's beauty is just part of its charm. For a deeper sense of what makes Charleston special, you will also need to uncover its inner beauty by becoming better acquainted with this city's richly interwoven social fabric and genteel culture. By focusing on both aspects of this historic city, you will gain the introduction needed to get to know Charleston.
With a degree in British Civilization, your guide is uniquely qualified to bring to life Charleston's upper-crust colonial heritage and refined lifestyle. Beyond sightseeing, you will be shown how Charleston's English aristocratic, 17th-century Enlightenment, and Gullah cultural roots have shaped and distinguished this gracious city for over 350 years. By viewing Charleston through this lens, you will understand why it has dominated travel rankings for well over a decade, earning "Best City in the U.S." annually and "Best City in the World" three times since 2011.
