The City of Charm: Things You Can't Miss in Charleston

23. Discover the Gullah Culture on a Special Tour

Charleston’s history is deeply tied to the Gullah Geechee people, descendants of enslaved Africans who created a distinct language, cuisine, and culture that still thrives today. A Gullah tour, led by a Gullah guide, offers an eye-opening look into their traditions, music, and contributions to Charleston’s unique identity. You’ll hear stories of resilience, faith, and family, visit important historic sites, and even hear the Gullah language spoken, which is still used in the Lowcountry today.
