Jonathan was so personable and engaging and he knew MANY MANY historical details about each area.

Highly recommend any tour with Jonathan..it was an excellent experience.

We can’t wait to return for another Charleston walking tour with JWALK tours!!

  I highly recommend JWalk Tours! Our tour exceeded all expectations. Will was an encyclopedia of knowledge and a gracious guide through the history of old Charleston.

  Just a great tour with history I've yet to learn( can always learn MORE) and a guide that made it all the more fun.

  Wow! This experience was beyond spectacular. Me and my family were looking for a tour of Charleston, and our hotel recommended this company, and it did not disappoint. Our... read more tour guide had such a great vibe, good humor, and made the tour very enjoyable, even for my 11yr old. We were also surprised with the amount of knowledge and facts he was able to give us about this historic town. But what separates a great tour company and a bad one, is the amount of love for the job, and Jonathan, our tour guide, showed the love and passion for this job like no one else. And this tour was extremely family friendly, interesting, and overall a great experience which I would recommend to everyone visiting Charleston. Definitely a 10/10 experience.

Jonathan is... read more probably the best tour guide you could imagine and more. You hear a little bit about history, architecture, plant life, and just plain old interesting stuff.

  This review is long overdue and bad on me. It was Christmas Day and Jonathan took my aunt and me on an incredible journey through the quiet streets of... read more Charleston and opened corners of history that were heartening, somber, illuminating, and nearly unbelievable. Jonathan really knows his history and truly engages with you when he presents it. I've taken a lot of tours and they can often be educational, but also scripted -- not so with Jonathan. He is talking to YOU and it was obvious that he enjoyed having a conversation about the topics, not just a one-way street. By the end, our feet were tired, our minds expanded, our hearts uplifted and we felt like we had made a friend. I cannot speak highly enough about Jonathan and his tours - he is a terrific guy and a passionate scholar. I can genuinely say that that was THE best tour I've ever taken and a very memorable Christmas. Thanks Jonathan and sorry this is so late. - Mindu

I reached out to Will from JWalk Tours and he was able to schedule a time that worked for my wife and I.

  Johnathan was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he was teaching us. I have been on a few tours of the city and no one does it like him.
