Any and everybody coming into the city of Charleston needs to take this tour. Very informative. Very real. Mr. Alphonso IS the culture and encompasses the heart and the history of this city. Fair warning, this is a very emotionally heavy tour so please prepare yourself as best as you can. My partner and I got a massage right after this and it was much needed. Thank you Mr. Alphonso. Also, please buy his book.

We truly enjoyed the informative tour. The tour guide is always very informative, professional, comical, and inviting. He’s full of historical facts, and is able to answer every new question we have.. We come back every year for the last 8 years, and Gullah Tours is always on our itinerary. 10 out of 10 and well worth it ❤️❤️❤️

Great Experience! The tour was very informative, and the tour guide was knowledgeable and very funny. My family and I learned a lot, and we were entertained at the same time. Nice air conditioned bus, with several stops.

Gullah tours was exactly what I needed. A true snapshot of Gullah lifestyle in Charleston from slavery to present. The mixture of Gullah, the Caribbean and African history. Mr Brown is a native born Gullah resident. He shared with us the history of Gullah through his personal experiences growing up. He kept it fun and interactive. He really leaves you with a lot to think about. If you want a tour of Gullah history/lifestyle this is the tour for you.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaged. The white and black historical experience in Charleston was completely divergent and everyone should take this tour to understand more fully the black experience. This is our history as a country.

An amazing tour! Book and have a great time learning at every turn. One of the best tour guides I have ever experienced!

We recently took this tour and found it to be a unique and engaging experience, with a guide who is clearly knowledgeable, passionate, and often very funny. The perspective offered—rooted in Gullah-Geechee culture—is not something you typically get on standard Charleston tours, and we appreciated that.That said, we did find the tour challenging to follow at times due to the pace and strength of the dialect used throughout the narration. While we understand and respect the importance of authenticity in presentation, there were moments when it was difficult to fully understand the content, which made it harder to stay engaged for the full duration.It may be helpful for future guests if this aspect of the tour were more clearly described in advance, so visitors can better match their expectations. Alternatively, a slightly slower pace or occasional clarification could make the experience more accessible to a broader audience.Overall, we’re glad we went and valued the perspective, even if it required more effort to follow than we anticipated.

This 2-hour bus tour was absolutely unforgettable! Our guide, a proud Gullah descendant of Charleston, brought the city’s history to life in the most authentic, engaging, and heartfelt way. You could feel the passion in every story—rich with culture, resilience, and tradition that you simply wouldn’t get from a typical tour.From historic landmarks to hidden gems, every stop was paired with meaningful context and personal insight that made the experience truly special. The storytelling was powerful, educational, and at times deeply moving. I walked away with a whole new appreciation for Charleston’s history and the enduring legacy of the Gullah community.If you’re visiting Charleston, this tour is a MUST. Informative, inspiring, and genuinely one of the best tours I’ve ever taken! Highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyed the tour, very informative.

Wonderful tour of parts of Charleston we had not visited on previous trips. Friendly, funny tour guide who has written a book which is an excellent companion to the tour. Reasonable price for the experience. We've already recommended this tour for friends.

2026-03-12T00:51:03.320Z

The guide was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a little glimpse into the gullah language as well!

2026-03-08T06:14:15.677Z

I enjoyed the tour a lot . It was sad that some people on the tour were not on time and then held the bus up he was nice enough to wait.

2026-03-08T00:00:00.000Z

This tour was A1. The driver Mr. Brown was so friendly and professional. He shared the stories and history of Charleston like no one else. Highly recommend.

2026-02-12T01:58:05.574Z

The gullabus tour was excellent. We learned many new facts about what took place in the class during slavery time and Beyond. The driver was really good at explaining everything that took place during that time frame. My next move is to visit the islands on another tour. I can't wait

2026-02-03T03:21:17.987Z

Brother Alphonso is informative, engaging, and a gracious host. I suggest taking this Gullah tour first thing after your arrival to Charleston it's a great way to settle in and get informed. A must for any historian, and excellent value!

2026-01-23T21:21:33.256Z

tour guide very well informed; great sense of humor; learned a lot; his Gullah accent was sometimes a challenge to understand, but it WAS a GULLUH tour after all.
