Our tour with Gullah Tours was the highlight of our first visit to Charleston, South Carolina. Our guide, Alphonso Brown, was highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing detailed insights into Gullah culture and its lasting influence on South Carolina’s people and agriculture. We were thrilled we took the tour and wholeheartedly recommend it to both Charleston residents and visitors.
MoreGreat experience. My husband and I learned about lot about the Gullah history of Charleston. Loved the Gullah accent!
MoreOutstanding tour! Alfonzo is a great our guide, providing rich history and humor. He provided insights and gave me a new appreciation for the Gullah culture and contributions of Charleston’s African American community. Some difficult truths were discussed, but in an educational and caring manner. You should take this tour to balance out and complement other Charleston tours. I highly recommend.
MoreOMG…one of the best tours ever! The guide was phenomenally knowledgeable about the Gullah Geeche culture and the history of Charleston. He was both wonderfully informative and entertaining. We covered so many places and stops along the way which left us wanting even more. We passed by Mother Emmanuel and would have liked pictures, but we went back on our own after the tour. The fountain of hands at Anderson Park was a stop we would not have found on our own and it was simply remarkable.Make time to fit this tour into your Charleston itinerary. It is an excellent experience.
MoreGreat information. But very difficult to understand speaker, heavy accent. It really took away from the tour.
