In Charleston’s Historic French Quarter, you’ll follow a narrated, app-based walk that lets you explore at your own pace using your phone. The WalknTours app guides you step by step, offering storytelling about the quarter’s alleys, notable buildings and local history so you can move through the area without a physical guide. You’ll be able to pause and spend time in shops, historic sites or restaurants as you wish.

Along the route, you’ll hear about Church Street and the neighbourhood’s churches, see the Pineapple Fountain, and learn about the Old Slave Market and Charleston Green. The tour also covers aspects of the Civil War era and other historical layers of the city. The experience is hands-free and designed with solo travellers in mind, providing clear narration and direction so you can take in the sights and stories at your own speed.
