Highlights
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!

About Charleston
Charleston is a South Carolina port city of pastel row houses, cobbled lanes, church steeples, Gullah culture and Lowcountry cooking.
Charleston was settled in 1670 and grew on a peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper rivers, and it is one of the best-preserved colonial-era cities in the United States. Rainbow Row, thirteen pastel Georgian houses on East Bay Street, is the best-known sight. The Battery, a seafront promenade with old cannon and oak-shaded White Point Garden, looks out to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861. The city is nicknamed the Holy City for its many church steeples.
