Reviews for Tour the Charm and Character of Charleston with Gossip & Stories from the Lid Lady

Gia was a fantastic tour guide! Our schedule was a bit chaotic, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating while thoughtfully engaging our curiosities about Charleston's LGBTQIA+ history and culture. She also shared excellent recommendations for other sites to explore after the tour. Highly recommend!

I loved the Historic Gossip tour with Tyler so much that I couldn't wait to take another. Most recently, I did the Skeletons in the Closet ghost tour with Gia ... Like Tyler's, Gia's story telling is so good you can see it ... Spending an evening getting lost in history being brought back to life.

Tyler is an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate expert of Charleston history. You can tell she's truly inspired by all sides of it, and does not shy away from less than rosy details of the reality of colonialism that other guides might. She's also kind and funny, and has never met a stranger. Highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful time on our Walk and Talk History and Historic Gossip tour. Tyler was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the history of Charleston. We really felt like we had the opportunity to see the whole city on foot as well as hear unique stories of the history of Charleston. We will certainly be back to experience other Walk and Talk tours!

Wonderful tour with Sommer! She shared so many unique stories about Charleston's past, present, and future that we really felt like we got to know the city through her tour. This was a great tour that really shared a lot of perspective. Highly recommended!

Walk & Talk Charleston is a must for both tourists and locals alike! Our History + Historic Gossip tour with Tyler was so fun and informative. It's a great way to see and learn about this beautiful city. Tyler herself is a wealth of knowledge and her passion for all things Charleston and the low country is infectious!

Layton was absolutely brilliant. Really knowledgeable and friendly. Would certainly recommend this tour and tour guide!

My family and I had a fantastic walking tour with Tyler! From start to finish, it was engaging, informative, and a genuinely fun way to explore the city. Tyler's deep knowledge of Charleston's history, both well- known and hidden stories- made the tour come alive. You can tell she's passionate about the city and its people.

One of the best tours I've been on. Tyler knew so much about Charleston's colonial and antebellum period as well as more recent history. We really appreciated how she presented historical figures and that she touched on the challenges Charleston is facing today. Her tour was much more in-depth than what I've experienced with other tours. We highly recommend the History & Historic Gossip Tour!

Had such a great time walking and talking with Gia of Walk and Talk Charleston on their "Real Rainbow Row" LGBT+ history tour. She was a very informative and engaging tour guide that made the morning feel more like a conversation than a history tour!

I recently went on a Walk & Talk Tour with Tyler in early December and I am STILL thinking about some of the things I learned on her tour. I walked away feeling like I had a much deeper understanding of Charleston and South Carolina's role on the local and national stages throughout American history. I also really loved that Tyler didn't shy away from acknowledging some of the more painful parts of America's past. Highly recommend Tyler's tours if you're visiting Charleston.

Not even sure how I came across Walk & Talk Charleston, but I am SO happy I did. Tyler is fantastic! She knew so much and was a pleasure to delve deeper into certain aspects of history & current events. Absolutely wonderful tour.

Indescribable - that's the only word I can think of when it comes to Tyler and the team at Walk & Talk! I have gone on many tours now, both public and private, and with different guides and each time I come away learning or seeing something new! They keep every tour fun, entertaining, and interactive, while being very honest and educational about our past, current, and future history and sociopolitical issues. Whether you are visiting or are a local to Charleston, a tour with Walk & Talk is a must!

This tour was absolutely fabulous! I couldn’t believe we went to eleven Galleries! The owners of the galleries were so informative, and very welcoming. Refreshments were served in everyone, from champagne, to wine, and a sweet treat in most. The art was beautiful, and diversified and our host. Tyler was wonderful highly recommend this tour, Great value.

My mom and I both live in Charleston and really enjoyed our walking tour with Walk and Talk. This is a fantastic way to see some of Charleston’s most beautiful sites and hear what makes our city so unique along the way. We were so impressed with Tyler’s breadth and depth of Charleston history and accompanying interesting stories. Her devotion to Charleston is evident and she has her “finger on the pulse” of current happenings in our city - she’s an expert of past and present! I’ll be recommending Walk and Talk to visiting friends and family from here on out. Thanks Tyler!

Our tour with Tyler was one of the top highlights of our vacation! She was personable, knowledgable, and entertaining. We would have missed out on so much if we hadn't taken this tour. 100% recommend!

Tyler was an incredible hostess as we played "tourist" in our own backyard. She organized a private tour specific to my group's interests and was able to connect us with fabulous locals along the way. Her lid for the day was a 10/10! Would highly recommend to visitors or locals alike. Thanks, Tyler!

Wonderful tour! Informative and fun. Tyler kept our interest the entire time. By far the best tour we took that weekend.
