We’re One of the Most Trusted Historic Tours In Charleston

Supporting the Palmetto Guild, we will only use tour guides licensed by the City of Charleston. We care about the quality of your tour.

Historic Accuracy

Palmetto Guild requires a mastery of Charleston’s wars, natural disasters, cultural renaissance, decorative arts, ironwork, and maritime heritage, ensuring guides present a comprehensive view of the Charleston’s history.

Certified Tour Guides

Charleston’s Palmetto Guild trained guides bring centuries of history to life from pirates, plantations, and Revolutionary battles to iconic architecture, Gullah traditions, and Lowcountry cuisine, offering visitors stories deeply rooted in fact.

The tours are led by Kim Wood, a native Charlestonian whose warmth, humor, and deep local knowledge consistently earn enthusiastic reviews. The signature offering is a 90-minute overview of the historic peninsula, winding past gorgeous architecture, steeples, sweetgrass baskets, and ironwork, with commentary spanning everything from Gullah culture to local history, and expanded options pair the city tour with visits to the antebellum Aiken-Rhett House and the Charleston Museum, America’s first museum.

What Our Happy Tour Guests Say About us

Minna Blair

One of the very best tours I have ever been on

Kim was fantastic. You know she lives and loves this wonderful city.Her knowledge is incredible and informative and fun. She shows some of the main attractions but then takes you off the beaten track to see and hear some of the interesting and quirky parts of the city.I highly recommend this tour

Tammy Hodges

She LOVES Charleston and it shows in her tours

Kim Wood includes ALL of Charleston’s history and it’s based on facts. And, when appropriate, she adds in some humor. You will learn and have fun at the same time. She appreciates every guest and it shows in how she treats the people on her tours.

Jaimee Carver Arnold

We had such a great tour with Kim!

She knows her stuff.. she had plenty of info and cute side stories. She answered every question the others on the tour had from restaurant recommendations to small facts about particular places. She taught us some new southern phrases and will forever have me looking at bricks to find fingerprints.

Debbie Brown Ellebracht

We highly recommend Charms of Charleston!

We really appreciated the knowledge and sense of humor that Kim provided. It has been a long time since we had been to Charleston and really enjoyed the refresher course. We had other family members with us and they felt that they learned so much during this tour.
