ABOUT CHARLESTON INSIGHTS
Whether coming for pleasure or considering purchasing property, Charleston Insights provides the introduction you need to get to know Charleston. It is often tempting to focus on Charleston's beauty when first touring this city - especially now that America's oldest historic district and plantation gardens 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 special, 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 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 in this light, you will gain unique insight into this city and a greater appreciation of why leading travel publications have voted Charleston every year since 2011 as Best City USA and three times since 2011 as Best City in the World!
