At Holy City Walks we believe that the history of Charleston is much more than facts and dates. It is the story of the real people who faced struggles just to arrive in 1670. It is about the contributions of brave individuals for more than 350 years in the face of wars, pirates, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and turmoil. Charleston is more than a beautiful old city. Come discover it all with Holy City Walks!
