Founded from a genuine passion for Charleston’s history and a determination to raise the standard of local walking tours, Chucktown Tours was created to offer guests a more meaningful and trustworthy way to experience Charleston.
The company’s story began when its founder pursued the challenging process of becoming a licensed Charleston history tour guide.

in the last weekI don't usually care much for city tours—especially historical ones—but because Charleston is such a special place, I decided to give it another try. Thank goodness we met Cooper; he was a fantastic person who turned it into an unforgettable experience. I was captivated from start to finish, and I can highly recommend this tour. It was the best experience I’ve had so far.

in the last weekCooper was excellent!! This was our first tour in Charleston and he made it so memorable. I’ve never been taught History in an enjoyable and fun way…until today. He not only shared so much meaningful history, but he made it fun and engaging! Highly recommend!

a week agoCooper was an awesome guide. He made the tour very personalized to what we were interested in. He gave us a bunch of really interesting information that only a historian would know and he mixes in plenty of humor that kept us all engaged. I highly recommend this guy.
