Charleston Tours: Tommy Dew’s Walking History Tour
Illustrations: Ryan Kelly

Tommy Dew’s Walking History Tour

Who It’s For: History buffs who prefer edu-tainment over lectures. Get some exercise and make your history professor proud.

Why We Picked It: Tommy’s uniquely Southern view: “It’s called the War Between the States; there was nothing civil about it.”

Southern Living Tip: If you can’t join Tommy live (the tour regularly sells out), download his “Charleston City Slicker” iPhone app ($10).
