Traveler reviews
Great and Fact-Based Tour!
The tour was great! The tour guide Damon was extremely and learned. He spent many years researching what he spoke about.I learned so many facts about everyday people taking extraordinary actions and challenging racism. Their actions changed laws with positive implications for Black people and others. I highly recommend this tour.

Important Fundamental History of Charleston
Important tour and a great introduction to the city of Charleston. The historical accounts are complimented by a musical rendition. Thank you for the experience
Highly Enjoyable Rustic Experience
It was wonderful. As a Northerner I came down to SC for the first time and wanted some history. So pleased I chose this tour. Our guide, Damon, started off with a song on his Melodica which was super cool and made the experience feel rustic and genuine from the start. We walked all around town in two hours (perfect amount of time) where he painted a picture for us with his words about the Lost History of some of Charleston’s greatest Black Lives. Highly recommended! I also was able to purchase an autographed copy of his first book. Great job Damon.
