Our first destination will be The Battery, a significant historical site that attracts many visitors.

Following this, our path takes us to the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon. Finished in 1771 and serving numerous purposes throughout its history, this site is among the few remaining locations where the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788.

Continuing along our historic journey, we will visit Marion Square, a park that dates back to the 18th century. Today, it serves as the main hub for various events and festivals celebrated throughout the year. Our route will also take us through King Street, originally the principal thoroughfare of the city, which has since evolved into an upscale shopping district featuring designer boutiques.

As we delve into the more colorful aspects of Charleston's past, we will wander down Rainbow Row, a delightful street along the Cooper River adorned with 13 vividly painted houses, each embodying the historic charm distinctive to this city. Additionally, we will visit the Waterfront Park Pier, situated near the Cooper River and boasting several historical monuments.
