I often get bored with audio tours but found this one to be quite interesting. The house was filled with interesting pieces of the era which were all well explained. I especially enjoyed the sound...

This is a good site to visit while in Charleston as, in particular, it provides a rich context for local history. The audio tour is very informative; be sure to press buttons A and B when prompted...

This was the only house we toured during the few days of our visit to Charleston. We were told that this was THE house if we toured any, and we were not disappointed. The guide did a great job explaining life in the house during the Revolutionary War period. The furnishings were a collection of pieces of local origin during that time period. The topic of slavery was not ignored and described during the tour. The circumstances of George Washington's stay at the house during his presidential tour of the region was interesting to hear. I recommend this house tour to anyone visiting the area.

Our tour guide was amazing and strived to place us in the time period. There are several historic home tours, but definitely place this one on your list if you visit Charleston. You can walk where the first President of the United States walked and slept. FYI: He paid rent.
