    Steve's tour is something special. He has a deep understanding and connection to the city, making history come alive and connect to Charleston today as you see it on the tour. With all this depth, you can enjoy his stories and ask questions that are important to you. Steve always has something meaningful to say, because he's not replaying memorized facts. He's telling you about his history and his home. Go with the best and enjoy your tour with Steve!
  • By Andrew Bilello
    Walked up on Evans group just before he began and decided to tag along. Very insightful tour, he knows his old and new history of Charleston as well as his architecture and plant life. Kept mostly in the shade and went down some back streets to get away from traffic and the crowds.
