David was super personable and knowledgeable about the city! We covered all the major spots and got some great pics. He answered all my questions with ease. Would recommend!
David was our tour guide for the day and he was such a wonderful experience. His knowledge and ability to deliver the history of the town and the region/state was fun And entertaining, not a single dull moment. He was able to answer all our questions and curiosity about Charleston and their denizens.
David’s tour was an excellent way to start our visit to Charleston! We learned so much about the city’s history, architecture, culture, and food. His stories made the city come alive and helped us to better understand everything else we saw during our visit. Highly recommended!
David was the highlight of our trip. My brother and I took his 2 hour walking tour around Charleston and had the best time. He is very personable, genuine and knowledgable about Charleston’s extensive history. He took care of us along the way, with occasional rest stops to discuss the sights and take a breather. Big fans of Charleston and even bigger fans of David.
David was awesome and very informative! We had a great time
We were in Charleston for corporate meetings and I booked the scavenger hunt for my team with David. We had an amazing time and David is absolutely amazing, fun and knowledgeable of the town. Highly recommend booking your next event with David!
David was very knowledgeable and very personal. Having been raised in Charleston you can see he has a passion for the city. Would definitely recommend.
Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable about the history of Charleston and made it fun for the four of us. The two hours passed by quickly. He was very entertaining and personable. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and guide.
My wife, son, and I had an incredible experience learning about the history of Charleston. Our guide David knew his stuff and took us too see not just the well known sites, but also some of the hidden gems that only a local would know. He even managed to keep our 7 year old engaged for two hours!
David is the best tour guide we could have asked for. He gave us a truly informed and compelling view of Charleston on our two-hour tour and we all left our excursion with a full roster of interesting insights and things to think about. David is funny, interesting and empathetic and was terrific at managing the different personalities in our group of women. I loved his depth and the respect he showed for the history of the city. 10/10, highly recommend!
David has an incredible wealth of knowledge regarding the history of Charleston. He has an upbeat personality and an easy and relaxed way of storytelling that doesn’t feel like you’re in a lecture! We saw incredible architecture, historical landmarks and received a context for the city that every visitor should know. Thanks David!
Our private walking tour of Charleston was great. David, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable very funny and seems to know everyone along our tour route. My husband teenager and the family Dog all enjoyed the tour and the individualized attention. David provided in regards to making sure he hit everyone’s interest. Whether it be conspiracy theories, or just learning about the beginnings of the Civil War to making sure our dog was included in photos - and even contacting us with additional restaurant suggestions after our tour ended - David was the entire package. Highly recommend his tour.
We are long time Charleston residents who called on David to take us on a tour with some out of town guests. David was wonderful. Took us to all the right places and even cleared up some mistaken facts we had! Highly recommend!
David was great with our group. Happy to guide us or happy to get deep into history for those interested. He was very professional, informative, and fun. This was our second time and we will for sure be back again.
Our company was in Charleston for a short business trip and this tour was a perfect way to spend an afternoon with some colleagues seeing the town. David is the best tour guide! Throughout our tour, he kept us intrigued and entertained, sharing interesting stories about the town's history with flair and humor.
My wife and I enjoyed our tour of Charleston with our guide Alice. She was very knowledgeable and shared her passion for the history of the city with us. I would highly recommend 1670 Tours and if you are able to, you may want to request Alice as your guide
David is such a knowledgeable tour guide. He is super passionate about bringing the history of Charleston to life as you take in all the amazing sights. He is a great story teller, and having grown up in the city, he really knows his stuff. It was a beautiful day, and I learned so much. I would highly recommend 1670 Tours to anyone wanting to get to know the city and its rich history a little better. I hope to book another tour with him in the future. I loved how David also shared more recent developments in the city and how that impacts economic growth and the way of life in the area, and not just focus on the past. Great afternoon!!!
We did a 2 hour walking tour with Kristin. She was really great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Was a very leisurely pace, stopping for photos, and conversation. She showed us a few places that we will definitely go to when we are there again. Would definitely recommend the entire experience.
Our tour guide, David, walked us the through the history of Charleston while walking through downtown Charleston. He kept all of us engaged and asking questions to further dive into the complicated history of his beautiful city.Before the tour was over, he had our teenagers asking question after question. He clearly loves his job! I highly recommend David and 1670 Tours!
I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Charleston’s rich history. David is an engaging and enthusiastic guide who really knows how to captivate his audience. He kept both our 10-year-old and the adults entertained throughout the entire experience.
