About This Tour
The biggest difference is customization. We change it up as we walk depending on what you tell us. No other tour in Greenville lets you customize every detail. We also know more about modern Greenville, SC, than anyone else in town. Every day our guides read and study more about the area. Crossed Roads Tour guides all grew up in the area. We have special insights that the many tours coming from outside simply cannot have. And the final difference, is honesty. We'll actually tell you whether a restaurant is good or bad, and whether an activity is worth doing. Even if that means upsetting a particular restaurant or business, we'll give you the truth.
Final price may vary. Check availability for exact pricing.
Photo Gallery

Camperdown is a major attraction in the area, but it used to be a center of manufacturing for Greenville during it's textile days.

Brown Street was instrumental in the founding of early American music, especially Jazz. Walk down the same street that some of America's foundational musicians practiced on.

Joel Roberts Poinsett was one of two men who made Greenville, SC, into a real city. He did much more than that, including growing the first Poinsettia, but we need to save some info for your tour.
