This tour is a must do when in Charleston! He was the best tour guide and had the kids attention the whole time. We had such a great time and I loved that the kids could truly enjoy the tour too! So glad we found JWalk tours
The Badass Broads tour is one of the most interesting tours we’ve taken in our many years of going to Charleston! Jonathan is an excellent and enthusiastic guide with in-depth knowledge of the Badass Broads of Charleston. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth the money!
this was an amazing tour. Jonathon is a great story teller and was very knowledgable about the ladies, the city. on a side note the mango smoothie at the Bitts & Beau meeting place was very yummy
This was a great activity for the whole family. While it is a kid focused experience, the adults got so much out of the tour too! I highly recommend for Girl Scouts!
Three of us took the Badass Broads of Charleston tour, a couple of us live near Charleston and have taken several different tours of the city over the years, this was by far the BEST Tour! Jonathon was SO knowledgeable an a great tour guide. This is a must do when everyone visiting Charleston! The best tour ever!!
Jon is very knowledgeable about the history of charleston.
Absolutely loved this tour. The story telling is top notch. Kept my son engaged and interested. This tour was so needed in Charleston, there isn’t much to do with little kids after dinner and this was the perfect way to end our day! We love JWalk Tours
Such a wonderful experience!! We learned so much in only 2 hours and he kept it very entertaining! A big highlight to our trip- we will definitely recommend this to anyone who visits!
