We are lucky to have started our trip to Charleston with a tour with Cooper. He is not just a guide; he is a walking repository of Charleston history who truly cherishes the city. This tour was indeed both educational and fun, and every fact was shared with enthusiasm and earnestness. We spent about three hours learning from Cooper about Charleston and the many fascinating characters who have spent time there, past and present. We feel fortunate to have chosen this tour from the dozens available. The three hours flew by, and to never be at all bored - not even for a minute - on a city tour is an impressive feat. Cooper had endless information about and great affection for the city (plus dad jokes), all shared in a wonderful accent. Cooper doesn’t simply regurgitate facts. He shares stories as if he lived them himself and illuminates the significance of sights that might otherwise have been unnoticed. If you have an appreciation for history, take this tour with Cooper.
