Greenville History Tours: Downtown Driving Tour

A typical driving tour of downtown will cover both the West End and South/North Main St. areas including a visit to the beautiful Reedy River Falls and historic Court Square. Guests will learn about the development of the city from its origins to the great revitalization of the last decades.

Driving tours are especially good options for newcomers to Greenville, people looking to relocate, senior and church groups, business clients that you want to impress with our city, civic and social groups, reunions, regional tour groups, etc.

As always, vintage photographs depicting Greenville scenes and buildings will be shown throughout the tour to give you insights into how the city has changed and developed.

Tours will take place in a comfortable Ford Transit high-roof tour van. Digital photographs will be shown on a screen to provide insights into the information that you hear from the tour guide. Your tour guide, John Nolan, is a local historian and author of “A Guide to Historic Greenville, SC” and “The Lost Restaurants of Greenville, SC.
