This is our first visit to Charleston. Eric gave a great tour and overview of the historic district. He keeps his groups small and intimate. Because he’s an historian he paints a detailed canvas of the city and its place in US history from its founding through the post civil- war era. He’s also great on focusing on what he knows best and will refer you to other Charleston landmarks and tours that might focus on other areas of interest. Highly recommended!

This was probably our 5th walking tour of Charleston and it was by far the best. If you actually want to learn the history of the city I don't think there is anyone better than Eric. His depth of knowledge was amazing and hearing his life experiences in this beautiful city made for a very enjoyable tour. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Lager gave a thorough and comprehensive review of Charleston history during this 3 hour walking tour. He is very friendly and engaging, answering all of our questions. We have visited Charleston many times and taken many tours--this one is by far the best!

Wow. We feel so lucky to have found this tour with Dr Eric for our Charleston trip. He is so knowledgeable, and the smaller group size made it especially enjoyable. We did this tour on our first day. We learned so much and were well prepared for the rest of our week. I highly recommend this tour.

We had the best time with Eric on our Charleston History Walk! From start to finish, Eric brought the city’s rich history to life in such an engaging way. His storytelling is top-notch and was full of fascinating details. It’s clear how much passion and knowledge he brings to the experience. What really stood out is how personalized and thoughtful the tour felt. Eric didn’t just rattle off facts, he painted vivid pictures of Charleston’s past and connected it to the present in a way that was meaningful and memorable. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious to learn more about this beautiful city, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend booking with Eric, he’s a fantastic guide and is incredibly knowledgeable in the history of Charleston!
