Al was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We have been on walking tours in Charleston in the past but Al pointed out a lot of new information. He really encourages an interactive experience.

Guggar- a memorable guide

Various churches; work of preservationists on Rainbiw Row. Learned a lot about the deadlocked 1860 Democratic convention.
