What to Expect

On our Gullah Tour we give an interesting glimpse into an ancient culture of these mysterious people descending from way across da water. Gullah people are the direct blood descendants of the slaves brought to the Lowcountry regions of South Carolina and Georgia; including both the coastal plain and the Sea Islands. These peculiar people were brought to Charleston by way of cargo slave ships.

Charleston held the largest slave market in the United States where the Gullah culture & language continues this very day. Your tour guide Godfrey is the only CHARLESTON GULLAH historian that is truly authentic to his craft. Come have a look and take a listen to an ancient history about an ancient people, the Gullah-Geechee people.
