Overview

Enchanting historic Charleston comes alive on entertaining and informative walking tours with 7th-generation Charleston native Michael Trouche. Discover stunning architecture, glorious gardens, Civil and Revolutionary War sites, cobblestone streets, wrought iron gates, legendary graveyards, and the local flavor of the fabled “Holy City” that no one knows better than Michael, who grew up in the famous "South of Broad" area, and has written two popular books on Charleston, where his family has lived for more than 215 years. Michael won numerous prestigious awards as host of the acclaimed "Carolina Camera" television program for 20 years on the local Charleston CBS affiliate, and has charmed tour guests for 10 years with his unparalleled knowledge of South Carolina's history, culture, plants and animals, as well as colorful insights, locations and anecdotes that only a lifelong Charleston native would truly know.

Informative & entertaining!

Michael did an excellent job of giving us a historical perspective of Historic Charleston! Inside looks at historic buildings with the stories behind them. Nice personal touch of making an effort to know our names too!

Perfect

Michael was the perfect tour guide. He does live theater so his voice really travels which is great if you're in the back. The amount of information this guy can keep in his head is amazing. I highly recommend his tour.
