Description

Gullah Tours is a must do!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/3/11

If you are ever in Charleston, S.C., please take this tour with Mr. Alphonso Brown! Mr. Brown is a historian, a comedian, and an educator of Charleston, the Gullah language, and life. You will be thoroughly educated and entertained. Other than spending time with my sugar, this tour was the highlight of my trip!

Don't go to Charleston and miss this - A must see!

By Janet, 7/25/11

The gullah tour is the best tour in Charleston, SC. I enjoyed Mr. Brown; his humor and knowledge of the city are fantastic. He speaks "gullah" and gave us a very good overview of the history. I highly recommend this tour. We came with our educational group from many different states and everyone on our tour enjoyed Mr. Brown. He autographed his book for us. If you're in town - give hime a call, it's really worth your time.

BEST TOUR IN CHARLESTON, SC

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/12/11

My husband and I absolutely loved this tour given by Mr. Alphonso Brown. Mr. Brown was very knowledgeable, funny and full of history. I will definitely pass on the good word to all I know. Although, our tour was comprised of a very diverse audience, Mr. Brown told the true African-American Charlestonian history without "sugar coating"!!!

A Must Tour

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/23/08

The Gullah Tour provided an exciting way to spend the afternoon to learn the real low country history. The Tour guide made an effort to be inclusive and interactive with every participant on the tour bus from New York - Japan. Take the tour to get the full gullah flavor!

We will be going back, soon!

By Pat, 6/2/10

Spent the Memorial Day weekend in Charleston. We enjoyed great restaurants and sites. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The most memorable experience, for me, was the Gullah Tour.It was a very interesting and informative tour led by Alphonso Brown. I would recommend the tour for everyone. In other tours some of the facts regarding Charleston history is watered down or omitted. It was refreshing to get a realistic view of our history. I will be visiting Charleston again, and again.

A Must See: Great Tour and Great Information

By Blake, 6/14/10

This tour (which is an air conditioned riding tour) was fantastic. The depth of history and understanding that you will have after attending it will surprise you. A truely great way to see Charleston and well worth the cost of admission and two hours of time. Also, this is a great alternative to many of the walking tours, which in 130 degree weather can be miserable.

By jacey's mommy, 10/1/05

Me and my husband went on this very informative tour of Charleston. The tour guide knows his stuff, and is very entertaining as well. This tour would be good for anyone. There's no walking involved, so all you have to do is sit back and relax!
