Charleston, South Carolina
Dorothy Porcher Holland
The Curated Travel Collection
Charleston, South Carolina was founded in 1670 and my earliest known ancestors arrived just 15 years later, so my roots run deep in this historic, charming and beautiful city that is my lifelong home. I live, work, and have raised my family here. As a travel advisor, professional tour guide, and former hospitality worker, I have a unique perspective on this amazing destination.
Whether you’re coming to experience Spoleto Festival USA the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, the annual Charleston Wine+Food Festival; to immerse yourself in history, or to explore the Lowcountry’s exquisite landscapes, beaches, and waterways, I can help you make the most of every opportunity. If you are planning a multi-family vacation, a romantic getaway, honeymoon, or simply a relaxing vacation for two, I can make all the arrangements. As a tour guide, I regularly visit our museums, historic homes, and other popular attractions.
I have extensive knowledge of golf courses, charter fishing, water sports and, of course I know all the amenities of our local beaches. I have personally experienced many of our variety of niche tours - Foodie, Ghost, Comedy, and can help choose the perfect one for your group. I dine frequently at the most popular restaurants, but I also know the ones that locals frequent and I am always excited to share the amazing cuisine that Charleston’s restaurants and cafes offer with my clients.
I want you to see and experience Charleston through a “local’s eye”, as well as your own fresh perspective, to learn what makes this destination so special. To hear the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, and then to be truly immersed in all that Charleston has to offer – that’s the experience I want to provide for you! And, that’s why I do what I do! Welcome…. to my home in Charleston, South Carolina, a true piece of heaven on earth!
