Welcome to Old Walled City Walking Tours of Historic Charleston.
I am Al Ray, company owner and your host. As we amble down narrow alleyways, cobblestone streets and peek through grilled ironwork gateways at gardens both serene and glorious, I will share with you the history and the legends of that have shaped this remarkable community. Charleston is a city as proud and noble as the people who created her, making any separation of the city and the people, or the past and today, an impossibility. This is the only historic city in America where people still live as they used to live, where life continues as it was in the time of our forefathers., a lovely old place with exquisite houses, lovely furnishings and persistent traditions. I hope that after walking with me that you will share my love for America’s Most Historic City.
Keep in mind that I have thirty years experience in showing off my hometown, and I can speak knowledgeably on a broad range of themes, hence no two tours are identical. If there is a topic of special interest to you such as the War Between the States or architecture, for two examples, I will be sure to include those themes during our time together. I thank you in advance for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting you! All tours depart from 155 Meeting Street at the corner of Horlbeck Alley in front of Toast Restaurant, one traffic light south of Market Street.
