Each child receives a foam rubber sword and “treasure” to keep as souvenirs.

All ages enjoyed Eric's storytelling. His knowledge combined with humor made for a very entertaining morning. My son wanted to go on the tour, which I thought would be a bit hokey. I must say, I was WRONG. We had several tours of Charleston, and I must say ERIC IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN TOWN!!!!!” Sabrina was very entertaining and knowledgeable. History, great scenes, spooky stories and a great guide. I took my 4 & 6 year old on the kids’ tour. Just the right length & information was perfectly suited to their ages.
